Rede, Mädchen, allzu liebes, das mir in die Brust, die kühle, hat geschleudert mit dem Blicke diese wilden Glutgefühle! Willst du nicht dein Herz erweichen, willst du, eine Überfromme, rasten ohne traute Wonne, oder willst du, daß ich komme? Rasten ohne traute Wonne, nicht so bitter will ich büßen. Komme nur, du schwarzes Auge. Komme, wenn die Sterne grüßen.

Dimmi fanciulla, da me tanto amata, perché nel mio petto che era senza calore hai suscitato, con una sola occhiata, questo furioso e selvaggio ardore! Non senti farsi tenero il cuore, vuoi forse, assai timorata, ogni intima gioia negare, o ti piace venir corteggiata? Ogni intima gioia negare, è un tormento troppo amaro e duro, vieni, fanciulla dallo sguardo scuro, le stelle ci stanno a salutare.
