Primo amore piacer del ciel
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Primo amore, piacer del ciel! 
penetrasti il mio cor.
Io trovai l'amata, deh! 
Ma di più non è per me.

Scherza un altro coll'amore; 
quando amata l'abbandona,
cercasi un nuovo amore 
e deride ognuna fede.

Non conosce il vero amore, 
chi non sente un gran dolore,
quando l'idolo del core
fugge in braccio d'un altro amante.
 
Ma se il dardo trapuntava 
gl'ambi cuori degli amanti;
e poi viene divisione, 
or sola morte consola,
quando poi viene divisione,
or sola morte, morte deh' pur consola.

Tal amor, piacer del ciel,
penetrava il mio cor.
Io trovai la cara, deh!
Ma di più non è per me.
