Altri canti d'Amor
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  FRE RUS
Altri canti d'Amor, tenero arciero,
I dolci vezzi, e i sospirati baci;
Narri gli sdegni e le bramate paci
Quand'unisce due alme un sol pensiero.

Di Marte io canto, furibondo e fiero,
I duri incontri, e le battaglie audaci;
Strider le spade, e bombeggiar le faci,
Fo nel mio canto bellicoso e fiero.

Tu cui tessuta han di cesareo alloro
La corona immortal Marte e Bellona,
Gradisci il verde ancor novo lavoro,

Che mentre guerre canta e guerre sona,
Oh gran Fernando, l'orgoglioso choro,
Del tuo sommo valor canta e ragiona.
