Nel mio parlar di questa donna eterna
doname, Cristo, grazia sempiterna.

Nel mondo fu la donna peccatrice
de quel mortal peccato...

Translation

As I am speaking of this woman who will forever be remembered.
give me, o Christ, your everlasting grace.

This woman was in the world.
guilty of that mortal sin...
