Little maiden turn not your head in...
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Little maiden turn not your head in passing
'Tis not for you, 'tis not for you I sing
Of my love faraway I'm ever thinking
O that my heart this song to her could bring!
Far far away is she from whom I'm singing
Dearer and fairer ev'ry day to me
