Chi vuol veder; Fior scoloriti; Chi d'Amor sente;
Fuor de la bella caiba
1. Whoever wants to experience love,
must know that the heartz steals it
Love's arrow does not wound
every heart it pierces.
Love prefers him,
who is worthy enough to serve it always.
2. White, pale pansies,
which wave so softly in the wind,
where has your mother gone,
where has the sun disappeared to?
Our mother and the sun
have given us the gift of beauty
and then they went away.
And now we show openly
our pain.
3.
Even he who loves
with the heart of a gipsy,
should not stray from the right path,
but understand correctly
the glances, tears
and behaviour of his loved one.
Don't delay and miss
the chance of the moment
suffer your pain with honour,
behave wisely, be proud or modest
just as love advises you.
He who wishes to learn from love,
must open himself to pain,
must possess a generous heart
and show his fidelity.
The unhappy lover
should bind a wreath of flowers.
Love, tell everyone who loves,
honour women
for wise women are honest and heavenly.
4. When the nightingale leaves its nest
the lonely baby bird cries,
for its mother has left it.
Her song rings through the woods.
the baby cries:
Come back beautiful nightingale.
