Original text and translations

Italian text

Dal lecto me levava per servir il Signor
Alhor quando arrivava la grua suo servidor
Gru gru gu gentil ambasciador
Che disse non leve, torna a dormir.

English translation

I was just arising from my bed to serve the Lord
When his servant the crane, his kindly ambassador, arrived
and told me "Don't get up, go back to sleep."
