Original text and translations

Italian text El te par che manchi in fede Per mia fe che in fe non mancho Glie ben ver che gia son stancho Per servir senza mercede El te par che manchi in fede Per mia fe che in fe non mancho Se io son fido so chel fai E io so che sei crudele anchor sai che son fidele e io so che dura stai mormorando in mortal guai e tul nieghi e pur si vede El te par ... La mia fe fidele e fida a tua cruda crudeltade per humana humanitade non mi guida per mia guida talhor ridi per chio rida riso ame non si richiede El te par ... Talhor guardi sio te guardo poi sio guardado guardi altrove poi che provi le mie prove ardi alquanto si tutto ardo perche tardi sio non tardo darmi quel che amor mi diede El te par ... Pero donna anzi mia diva non dir piu che di fe manchi finche haro la morte a ifianchi la mia fe te sera viva de vita io de fe tu priva serem noi se ferza excede El te par

English translation It seems that you are lacking in faith. By my faith, I am not lacking in faith. It is true, I am already tired To serve without reward. It seems that you are lacking in faith. By my faith, I am not lacking in faith. If I stay faithful I know what you will do. And I know that you are cruel, though you know that I am faithful. I know that you are hard. I moan in mortal troubles. Still, you deny it and yet it is evident. It seems that you are lacking in faith ... My faithful and trustworthy faith is set against your cruel cruelty. Give humanity for humanity. Do not lead me on as you have lead me. As you sometimes laugh with those who laugh at me, do not require laughter from me while you laugh at me. It seems that you are lacking in faith ... While looking around me I look at you, and if I am seen I look elsewhere. As you are weighting/trying my trials: If you burn a little I burn all over. If you hesitate I am not hesitating. Give to me that love I gave you. It seems that you are lacking in faith ... My lady, or rather my goddess, do not say more than that you are lacking in faith. Until I have death beside me my faith will stay alive. I will be deprived of life as you are deprived of faith Thus our wounds will multiply. It seems that you are lacking in faith ...
