Ce l'ho un amante alla Città di Penna, e l'altro l'ho al bel porto d'Ancona: n'ho uno sul gran pian della Maremma, l'altro a Viterbo ch'è terra di Roma: ne ho uno giù pel pian del Casentino, quello del mio paese è più vicino: ne ho uno verso il pian della Magione, quattro alla Fratta, e diece a Castiglione.

Ich hab' in Penna einen Liebsten wohnen, In der Maremmenebne einen andern, Einen im schönen Hafen von Ancona, Zum Vierten muß ich nach Viterbo wandern; Ein Andrer wohnt in Casentino dort, Der Nächste lebt mit mir am selben Ort, Und wieder einen hab' ich in Magione, Vier in La Fratta, zehn in Castiglione.
