Italian.png Italian text

«Io mi son giovinetta,
e rido e canto alla stagion novella»,
cantava la mia dolce pastorella,
quando subitamente
a quel canto il cor mio
cantò, quasi augellin vago e ridente:
«Son giovinetto anch’io,
e rido e canto alla gentil e bella
primavera d’Amore
che ne’ begli occhi tuoi fiorisce». Ed ella:
«Fuggi, se saggio sei (disse) l’ardore,
fuggi, ch’in questi rai
primavera per te non sarà mai».
