Caro mio ben
credimi almen
Senza di te'
languisce il cor

Caro mio ben
Senza di te'
languisce il cor

Il tuo fedel
sospira ogn'or
Cessa crudel tanto rigor

Caro mio ben
credimi almen
Senza di te'
languisce il cor

O gentle Maid
hear now my sighs
For thee my Heart
in secret dies

Hear now my sighs
for thee my heart
in secret dies

Grace with thy smile
those lips divine
Peace join't with bliss must soon be mine

O gentle Maid
hear now my sighs
For thee my Heart
in secret dies[4][5]
