Italian text

Addio, bella Siringa,
bella Siringa, addio; Clorindo, addio,
addio, Clorindo mio,
dicean press'una fonte
con fronte assai turbata
pastor amante, pastorella amata,
pastor amato, amante pastorella.
Ei sospirando ed ella;
ella piangendo ed egli,
dagli occhi umidi e begli
con le lagrime uscieno i cori ardendo.
Egli da lei, ella da lui partendo,
partì da lui, partì da lei quel core
che sol nutriva Amore.
