Non nella bella estate, Ma nel cuore dell'inverno, Proprio ora tu hai voluto andartene! Mio bimbo, tu non hai voluto attendere Che a poco a poco le colline fiorissero, Rinverdissero i prati, Sbocciassero i garofani, E crescessero i fiori. Avresti potuto coglierne a piene mani, E portarli nel basso mondo, E i giovani li avrebbero messi sul berretto, Le giovanette sullo sparato della camicia, E i piccoli li avrebbero tenuti in mano, Dimenticando la mamma.
