by Raffaele Petrosemolo

Crudele Irene, tu m'hai lasciato
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Chosen for Diff
Crudele Irene, tu m'hai lasciato,
  Tu m'hai tradito, abbandonato, oh!
  Ma pure, credilo, non me ne importa,
  Un'altra bella ritroverò, oh!

Cento fanciulle di ogni sorta
  A me promettono novello amore.
  Ma, traditrice, ridammi il core
  Che quel tuo sguardo a me rubò.

Tu piangi, tu piangi,
  O come io rido! ah! ah.

Irene, credilo, è un sogno matto
  Quel che lasciandomi tu forse hai fatto, oh!
  Pensavi certo ch'io ne morissi,
  Ma di te presto mi scorderò, oh!

E se tu allora te ne pentissi
  Io riderei del tuo dolore.
  Ma, traditrice, ridammi il core
  Che quel tuo sguardo a me rubò.

Tu piangi, tu piangi,
  O come io rido! ah! ah.
