Original text and translations

Italian text Sospiri miei d'ahimè dogliorirosi e senz'aita Deh partitevi da me cangiate loco, Do che ti giova, Doridon, esser sì bella Son fa ru ra ru rella, vuoi ben' a me, Sappi chi non ha bene in gioventù d'in amar ahimè Stent’in vecchiezza, to ri ron, amaritudine, Son fa ru ra ru rella, vuoi ben'a me.

Latin text Suspiret corde, quia Deo placere nequit homo desuper videbit ut misereatur, Namque miseri cordia nunc operati ut reaedificaret quod corruerat, qua nisi fulciamur non sunt solamina reliqua magna delicta nostra sunt, sed maior Domini semper in animo bonitas manet. from Cantiones suavissimae (Leonhard Schröter)
