Italian text

Ardita zanzaretta
morde colei che il mio cor strugge e tiene
in così crude pene;
fugge poi, e rivola
in quel bel seno che il mio cor invola,
indi la prende e stringe e le dà morte
per sua felice sorte.
Ti morderò ancor io,
dolce amato ben mio,
e se mi prendi e stringi, ahi, verrò meno
provando in quel bel sen dolce veleno.

English translation

A daring little mosquito
bites her who breaks my heart and keeps it
in such cruel torment;
then it flees and flies back again
to that fair breast that has stolen my heart,
then she catches it, squeezes it and gives it death
which is its happy fate.
I shall bite you too,
my sweet beloved,
and if you catch me, and squeeze me, ah, I shall faint
at the taste of this fair bosom's sweet poison.
