He threaded gems in necklaces,
but recklessly she squandered them
and fell to bitter quarrelling;
then sorrowing he wandered on,
and there he left her withering,
as shivering he fled away;
with windy weather following
on swallow-wing he sped away.

Gemme in collane poi infilò
ma incauta lei le sparpagliò:
litigio amaro cominciò;
afflitto allor vagabondò;
ad appassire la lasciò,
e via, tremante, poi fuggì;
con un bel vento s’affrettò
seguendo ali di rondini.
