“La fioraia fiorentina”
Lyrics by Anonymous or maybe by Giuseppe Torre

I più bei fior comprate,
fanciulli, amanti e spose:
son fresche le mie rose,
non spiran che l’amor.

Ahime! Soccorso implora
mia madre, poveretta
e da me sola aspetta
del pan e non dell’or.
–
“The Florentine flower girl”

The most beautiful flowers [you can] buy,
children, lovers, and newlyweds:
my roses are fresh,
[they] don’t die like love [does].

Alas! Help, implores
my mother, poor little [thing]
and from me she hopes only
for bread and not for gold.
