Il mio ben m'abbandonò

Il mio ben m'abbandonò,
Giusto ciel, come vivrò?
Morirò di dolor,
Crudo amor, crudo amor.
Il mio ben m'abbandonò,
Giusto ciel, come vivrò?
Crudo amor, io morirò di dolor.
Il mio ben, ah! giusto ciel, m'abbandonò,
Giusto ciel, morirò di dolor.
Ah! giusto ciel, come vivrò?
Ah! come, ah! come vivrò?
