Original text and translations

Italian text Quando del mio bel sol vedrans’i raggi Ornar questi per me si ombrosi poggi Hoggi (echo) S’el mio ben sei ch’or lieta mi rispondi Porgimi aita ahime nanti ch’io mora Hora (echo) Gratie al ciel rendo c’a mia benigna sorte Ch’el longo prego mio qui non fu in vano Vano (echo) Lasso che faro dunque s’ella il core Al mesto pianger mio ogn’hor piu indura Dura (echo) Come durar poss’io si crude pena Ch’ogn’hor mi porgi tant’aspri tormenti Menti (echo) Dhe dimmi hormai chi sei ch’in ver io mento S’altri che lei rispond’in questo speccho Eccho (echo) Eccho tal’hor si dolce mi porgesti L’ultime note tue che di madonna Quasi voce stimai benigna ond’io Partendo nel mio error ti lascio, a Dio.

Elke keer dat je me zo bitter kwelt. - - veld (echo) Zeg me nu wie je bent dat ik echt lieg, Verder antwoord je in deze spiegel. - - giegel (echo). Hier is zo'n zoet uur dat je me gaf Het laatste teken van jou, vrouwe, zoals een stem, ik beschouw het als goedaardig. Het is mijn fout dat ik je verlaat, tot ziens.                            (vrije vertaling)
