Original text and translations

Italian text

O core di diamante
  Perche me ne fai tante
  Vedi che non conviene
  Di dar à chi t'adora tante pene.

O bocca saporita
  Che poi dar mort' e vita
  Tu sola in un momento
  Potresti donar fin al mio tormento.

Occhi leggiadri e chiari
  A me cotant' avari
  Un sguardo sol potria
  Donar rimedio a l'aspraa pena mia.

O volto mio divino
  Poi che per mio destino
  M'è forza a te servire
  O mi soccorri over fammi morire.
