Ti pensi di legarmi con un filo, Con uno sguardo farmi innamorare. Non ti fidar di me quando che rido: Che piú d'in alto l'ho fatti calare. E l'ho fatti calar; credilo a mene. So' innamorata, ma non già di tene.

Du denkst mit einem Fädchen mich zu fangen, Mit einem Blick schon mich verliebt zu machen? Ich fing schon Andre, die sich höher schwangen; Du darfst mir ja nicht trau'n, siehst du mich lachen. Schon Andre fing ich, glaub' es sicherlich. Ich bin verliebt, doch eben nicht in dich.
