Original text and translations

Italian text Tu traditora m'hai puost'a 'sto core, 'no focolaro di fiamma'e di foco. E mo' canazza, me la mietti in gioco. Et ence tanta brascia e tanto ardore, ch'uno acino di miglio non ce ha luoco. E mo'… E sentoci quello asino d'amore, che sempre atizza come fosse cuoco. E mo' Provedeci ti dico e non tardare, ca non e cosa da chiù comportare, farmi senza proposito abrusciare.

English translation You, traitor!, you have hatched in my heart a hearth of flame and fire. And now, cruel mistress, you make fun of me. The embers are so many and the heat so strong, that a kernel of birdseed would not last a moment. And now… There I hear that jackass, Cupid, who's always fanning the fire, as if he were a cook. And now "Take care of it", I tell you, "and don't delay", Because I can't take this any longer— don't let me scorch here for no reason. Translation by Campelli
