Original text and translations

Italian text Tu traditora m'hai puost'a 'sto core, 'no focolaro di fiamma'e di foco. E mo' canazza, me la mietti in gioco. Et ence tanta brascia e tanto ardore, ch'uno acino di miglio non ce ha luoco. E mo'… E sentoci quello asino d'amore, che sempre atizza come fosse cuoco. E mo' Provedeci ti dico e non tardare, ca non e cosa da chiù comportare, farmi senza proposito abrusciare.

English translation You, traitor!, you have hatched in my heart a hearth of flame and fire. And now, cruel mistress, you make fun of me. The embers are so many and the heat so strong, that a kernel of birdseed would not last a moment. And now… There I hear that jackass, Cupid, who's always fanning the fire, as if he were a cook. And now "Take care of it", I tell you, "and don't delay", Because I can't take this any longer— don't let me scorch here for no reason. Translation by Campelli

Latin text Beatus ille qui periclitando Non frangitur fido sed ore clamat Ihesu professus es redemptionem Nam si fides habenda veritati miraculosum sentiet levamen Dolo latrones proprio peribunt Nutare saepius sinit fidelem et porrigit manum Christus cadenti Adest suprema fortiter sub hora Dignas ei canamus ergo grates quocunque terrarum loco moremur Ihesus per orbem regnat universum Contrafact from Cantiones suavissimae (Leonhard Schröter)
