Original text and translations

Italian text

Di vedoe mi vogl'inamorare
e non di voi fraschette, dicitelle, pazzarelle, tristarelle,
che sempre mai ti fanno iacovelle.

German translation

In Witwen will ich mich verlieben,
und nicht in euch, ihr Oberflächlichen, Schwätzerinnen (?), Schelmischen, Närrinnen,
denn immer entziehen sie sich dir.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation

I wish to fall in love with widows,
and not with you floozies, gossipers(?), impish and foolish ones,
for always they elude you.
