Original text and translations

Italian text

Madonn' io non lo so perch' lo fai
  Ch' mete mostr' in tutto scorocciata
     perche sei acoss' ingrata se sai per te son seco dolor,
       dolor, dolor sta sempre meco

Io non so che melle chiocchie posto tai
   Far me morir so che ben te grato
      Perche fie acossi

O dio famme nescire dasti guai
   Cha non gen capparaggio naltra fiata
       Perche sei acossi

Ho mor'o camp' ornai non menne curo
   Sto mondo latr' e fatt chi a ventura
      Perche sie acossi dura se sai per son cieco.
