Original text and translations

Italian text   Se l'amor in te e pocho   Questo ad vien per mia gran pena   Sciolto fia la cathena   Che me tien in questo focho   Se l'amor in te e pocho   Questo ad vien per mia gran pena Cercar voglio ogni santiero Per uscir de tanta guerra Poi chio vedo el tuo pensiero Contra mi armato in terra questa pena me si accerba sfogar voglio in qualche loco Gia piu volte mai mostrarto intra guerra odio e sdegno come tristo inamorato io son gionto e cotal segno non staro piu nel tuo regno poi de me tu pigli giocho Trovar voglio unaltro amante acui forsi farto grato fengero te desperarte poi che mai abandonato gia non credo effer, lassato staro sempre in questo focho

English translation If you have little love for me,   I will be in great sorrow.   The chain will be loosened   That holds me in this place.   If you have little love for me,   I will be in great sorrow. I will petition every saint: End this great war. I see your thought, To arm your self against me on this earth Sorrow is inescapable, I have to vent it in somewhere. Already, more times than ever have you shown, with war, hate and disdain, How unhappy in love I have become, and this I mark: I will no longer stay in your reign, As you rob me of all Joy. I will find another love, One who perhaps shall be grateful. I will make you desperate, As you have never before have been abandoned. Already I have left. I did not believe this could happen. I will always stay in this place.
