Ay que contento - Amante felice by Giovanni Stefani — Lyrics
Ay que contento,
que nel' alma siento,
despues qu'amor quiso
con darme a viso
librar me de infierno,
y darme descanso
en su parayso,
que fea la vida,
la vida segura y eterna.
Ay que alegria:
sient'est'alma mia,
deverme mudado,
muy en cunbrado
