Oh! Quant'io t'amo! In me forte e il desio! Forte e il desio di farti palpitarto Forte di stringerti al cuor mio. Da te cosi lontano Io soffro , io soffro assai He pace io trovo mai perche troppo e l'amor O mia vittoria, o mio tesoro O ben mio, o mio sol pensiero E dammi un bacio e il mondo intiero e mi farai tutto obliar O mio vittoria, o mio tesor sara O bene mio o mio sol pensiero E dammi un bacio e il mondo intiero e mi farai tosto obbliar.
