TextAmor mi fa cantar a la francesca.PerchT questo m'aven non olso dire. chT quella donna che me fa languire temo che non verebe a la mia tresca. A lei sum fermo celar el mio core e consumarmi inanzi per so amore. ch'almen mor= per cosa gentilesca. Donne, di vero dir ve posso tanto. che questa donna, per cui piango e canto. F, come rosa in spin, morbida e fresca. TranslationLove makes me sing in France's style.Why that occurs to me I dare not say. for I fear that the one who makes me languish would not understand my courtship. I am resolved to hide my heart from her and rather to consume myself for her love. so that at least I die for a noble thing. In truth, o women, I can tell you as much. that this woman for whom I weep and sing is soft and fresh like a prickly rose. Text revision and translation © Giovanni Carsaniga |
