Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

N. 5 - Aria

Allegro (sol maggiore)

Archi, 2 corni.

NARDO

A forza di martelli

il ferro si riduce
a forza di scarpelli,
il marmo si lavora;
di donna il cuor ognora
né ferro, né martello,
né amore tristarello
la può ridurre a segno,
la può capacitar.

Siam pazzi tutti quanti

che andiamo appresso a femmine,
si sprezzino; si scaccino,
si fugghino, si piantino,
si lascino crepar.

(parte)

English Libretto or Translation:

No. 5 - Air

Allegro (G major)

Arches, 2 horns.

NARDO

By force of hammers

the iron is reduced
by scissors,
marble is worked;
a woman's heart every day
neither iron nor hammer,
nor love tristarello
it can reduce it,
it can be capacitative.

All of us are crazy

that we are going on with females,
they despise; I'll chase,
they flop, they plant themselves,
let themselves be crepar.
