Text

- Or qua, compagni, qua, cum gran piacere:
chiamati'i can qua tosto.
- Bocanegra, t=i, t=i.
- Biancopelo, sta qui, sta.
ch'una camoza a mi me par vedere.
- Di', dunde va? - De qua.
- De qua? Per qual via va?
- Per quel boscaio: guata, guata ascosa.
- Molton, Molton! - Chi se'?
Chi se'? - I' son guardapasso.
Che v=i, che v=i? - Va' de qua.
- Non vidi che son molte? - Piglia l'una.
- Quala v=i?
- Quella de drieto bianca.
perch'io la vego stanca.

Nui tuti la seguimo cum effetto.
cridando l'un a l'altro:
- Piglia, piglia! - Sai, sai!
- Curi forte la, via la.
chT 'n vFr la tana va quasi a deletto.
- Non p= fuzir? - Non p=.
non p=, che 'l can la tiene.
nT movre non si sa, perch'F smarita.

Translation

"Now come here, friends, here, let's enjoy ourselves:
call the dogs here at once."
"Blackmouth, here, here."
"Whitepelt, sit here, sit;
I seem to see a chamois."
"Tell me, where is it coming from?" "From there."
"From there? Which way is it going?"
"Through that thicket. Look, look, it's hidden."
"Molton, Molton." " Who're you?
Who're you?" "I am the lookout."
"What do you want? What do you want?" "Go that way:
don't you see they are many?" "You take this one."
"What one do you want?"
"The one with the white backside.
because I see it's tired."

We all followed it successfully.
shouting the one to the other:
"Catch it, catch it!" "Here! here!"
"Run quickly there, that way.
'cause it's going right into the den."
"Can it escape?" "It can't.
it can't: the dog's holding it at bay
and it can't move because it's confused."
"Zafon, Zafon, run
there, see how it's struggling."
"You go there if you want to." "It's weakening."
"I'm afraid it might bite, 'cause it's wild."
"No, it won't."
Thus, lying down there.
it was caught in this way.
