"Nel cor più non mi sento" is easily be called the most famous of Giovanni Paisiellos and Giuseppe Palombas creations.[2] It inspired Ludwig van Beethoven to his Six variations in G for piano, (WoO 70) in 1795. In 1821, Paganini picked up the "Nel cor" for his "Introduction and variations in G major" for violin, (Op. 38, MS 44), which is known to us thanks to concertmaster Carl Guhr who wrote down what he remembered from Paganini's concerts in Frankfurt by ear.

"Nel cor più non mi sento" appears on the following album:

Nel cor più non mi sento
Brillar la gioventù:
Cagion del mio tormento,
Amor ci hai colpa tu.
Mi stuzzichi, mi mastichi,
Mi pungichi, mi pizzichi:
Che cosa è questa, oimè!
Pietà, pietà, pietà
Amore è un certo che,
Che delirar mi fa.

Calloandro
Ti sento, sì, ti sento,
Bel fior di Gioventù:
Cagion del mio tormento,
Anima mia sei tu.
Mi stuzzichi, mi masichi,
Mi pungichi, mi pizzichi;
Che cosa è questa oimè!
Pietà, pietà, pietà!
Quel viso ha un certo che,
Che delirar mi fa.
[...]

Pistofolo
Bandiera d'ogni vento
Conosco, che sei tu:
Da uno sino a cento<wiki>*</nowiki>
Burli la gioventù.
Tu stuzzichi, tu pizzichi,
Tu pungichi, tu mastichi,
Che ognuno strilla - oimè!
Pietà, pietà, pietà!
La donna ha un certo che,
Che attossicar mi fa.

Text from the Libretto from the Treatro alla Scala, 1810

Rachelina
Ah! where are fled the joys of youth,
Which danc'd within this breast?
Ah! where are fled the halcyon days,
And nights of peaceful rest?
'Tis love does thus its fires impart,
And drives coposure from my heart.
Ah! now I sigh, and now I languish,
Now start with pangs of fiercest anguish.
Pity with Justice I invoke,
To shield from black Despair's fell stroke.

Calloandro
Youth and Beauty's fairest flower,
I fell and own your cruel power!
'Tis you that pierce this faithful breast
Destroy my peace, drive far my rest;
Afflict with ev'ry sort of pain,
Transfix my heart and fire my brain.
Your pity, maiden, I implore,
My fleeting senses to restore.
[...]

Pistofolo
Woman, ever fair and frail,
Wafted by each passing gale,
I know your weakness, pretty flow'r
Complain of losing youthful power!
'Tis you afflict with ev'ry pain;
'Tis woman dissipates the brain.

Rachelina
Der Jugend ganzes Feuer
Verlöscht im Busen mir.
O Amor, böser Amor!
Dies Unglück dank' ich dir.
Wie's da so heftig drücket!
Wie's da so grimmig zwicket!
O weh! was muß das seyn?*
Erbarmt, erbarmt euch mein!
Die Liebe, ach! die Liebe
Die macht mir solche Pein.

Calloandro
Der Jugend ganzes Feuer
Glüht in dem Auge dir.
Ach! alle meine Quaalen*
Verdank' ich, Mädchen, dir.
Wie's da so heftig drücket!
Wie's dort so grimmig zwicket!
O weh! was muß das seyn?
Erbarmt, erbarmt euch mein!
Dies Antlitz, ah! dies Antlitz
Das macht mir solche Pein.
[...]

Notar Opistofolo
Unstätes Wetterfähnchen,*
Berüchtigt bist du mir.
Nur zum Gespötte dienet
Die junge Mannschaft dir.
Wie's da so heftig drücket!
Wie's dort so grimmig zwicket!
Man seufzt: Was muß das seyn?
Erbarmt, erbarmt euch mein!
Das Weibsgeschlecht, ihr Leute,
Das macht euch solche Pein.

Rachelina
Le feu de la jeunesse
N'anime plus mon cœur;
Hélas ! de ma tristesse
L'amour seul est l'auteur.
Il me frappe, me blesse,
Il me pique, me presse.
Qu'est-ce douc que l’amour ?
O ! grace ! grace ! Grace !
Qui que tu sois, amour,
Grace ! grace en ce jour !

Calloandro
Le feu de la jeunesse
Fait palpiter mon cœur.
Hélas de ma tristesse
Je vois en toi l'auteur.
Tu me frappes, me blesses,
Tu me piques, me presses.
Qu'est donc que l'amour ?
Oh ! Grace ! grace ! grace !
Objet de mon amour,
Grace ! grace en ce jour !
[...]

Notar Pistofolo
Girouette traitresse
Qui se tourne à tout vent,
Tu trompes la jeunesse
Depuis un jusqu'à cent.
Tu nous frappes, nous blesses,
Tu nous piques, nous presses ;
Et chacun crie : amour !
O grace ! grace ! grace !
Cette fripponne, amour,
Me rend fou sans retour !

Text from the Version for Paris, 1811[6]
