Text

- Gaiete dolze parolete mie
dites de voi che fie
partite da gli acesi mei desiri.

- Quella gaieta spina che tu die
(Gaiete dolze parolete mie)
che ponze e che t'ha ponto in fin a quie.
per noi trovata fie
onde soa luce voi, legendo, miri.

Translation

"Joyful sweet words of mine.
tell me what shall be of you
once you take leave of my burning desires."

"That joyful thorn of which you speak
(Joyful sweet words of mine)
which pricks and has pricked you until now.
shall be found by us
so that, through reading your words, her eyes may see you."Text revision and translation © Giovanni Carsaniga
