Se Florindo è fedele
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE GER POR SPA
Se Florindo è fedele 
io m'innamorerò.

Potrà ben l'arco tendere 
il faretrato arcier,
Ch'io mi saprò difendere 
d'un guardo lusinghier.
Preghi, pianti e querele, 
io non ascolterò.
Ma se sarà fedele 
io m'innamorerò.
