Matona, mia cara, | My lady, pretty madam, |
Mi follere canzon, | A song I am apply | |
Cantar sotto finestra, | To sing beneath your window. | |
Lantze bon compagnon. | I am a funny guy! | |
Don don don, | Fa la lai, | |
Diri diri don don don don. | Fa la la la la la la lai. | |
| | |
Ti prego m'ascoltare, | You please to listen at me, | |
Che mi cantar de bon, | I sing it good and high. | |
E mi ti foller bene, | I love on you so good as | |
Come greco e capon. | Greecemen love chicken pie. | |
Don don don, | Fa la lai, | |
Diri diri don don don don. | Fa la la la la la la lai. | |
| | |
Comandar alle cacce, | I go myself for huntings. | |
Cacciar con le falcon, | I give my falcon fly. | |
Mi ti portar becacce, | I bring you back a woodcock, | |
Grasse come rognon. | Greasy, fat as my thigh. | |
Don don don, | Fa la lai, | |
Diri diri don don don don. | Fa la la la la la la lai. | |
| | |
Se mi non saper dire, | I do not pretty sayings, | |
Tante belle razon, | Even if I would try. | |
Petrarcha mi non saper, | The fancy shits like Petrarch | |
Ne fonte d'Helicon. | And legends know not I. | |
Don don don, | Fa la lai, | |
Diri diri don don don don. | Fa la la la la la la lai. | |
| | |
Se ti mi foller bene, | If you would love me good now, | |
Mi non esser poltron, | I give you satisfy. | |
Mi ficcar tutta notte | I fuck you like stallion | |
Urtar come monton, | All night until you cry. | |
Don don don, | Fa la lai, | |
Diri diri don don don don. | Fa la la la la la la lai. | |
