Original text and translations

Italian text Poi che volse, de, la mia stella deh, per mirare, deh, la sua beltade, E d‘una povera viduella, Deh, ch‘a perduta la sua libertade, Deh, cantar voglio, do, per mille fiate Sol per sfogare, me do, quel cieco ardore: Che fa le belle putte, me do, viva l‘amore. Do, che fa le, me do, che le non vien? Fa la le la Fa la le la le lu le la Do, che fa le, do, che le non vien?

German translation Nun, da mein Stern sich gewendet hat, um zu bewundern die Schönheit einer armen kleinen Witwe, die ihre Freiheit verloren hat, möchte ich mit tausendfachem Atem singen, nur um meine blinde Hitze abzulassen: Was tun die schönen Dirnen, es lebe die Liebe, was tun sie, dass sie nicht kommen? Translation by Gerhard Weydt Die Wörter deh, doh, do, me do sind Füllwörter („ach“ u. ä.), wie ein Vergleich mit dem in weiten Teilen identischen Text in Franciscus Bossinensis, Tenori e contrabassi intabulati…, Venedig 1509, zeigt. Die letzten Zeilen zitieren ein damals bekanntes Lied, die „ramacina“, der übliche Text lautet: Che fa la ramacina, caro amor, che fa la che la non vien.

English translation Now that my star has turned, to admire the beauty of a poor little widow that has lost her freedom, I want to sing with thousandfold breath, only to vent my blind heat: What do the pretty wenches do, long live love, what do they do, that they don‘t come? Translation by Gerhard Weydt The words deh, doh, do, me do are fillers (meaning „alas“ etc.), as is shown by a comparison with a mostly identical text in Franciscus Bossinensis, Tenori e contrabassi intabulati…, Venice 1509. The last lines cite a then well-known song, the „ramacina“, the usual text is: Che fa la ramacina, caro amor, che fa la che la non vien.
