Original text and translations

O dio, che potria far a questo mondo,
ch’in pace un’hora io potessi stare,
che possano crepare ste vecchie
che non fanno che gridare.

German.png German translation

O Gott, was könnte ich tun in dieser Welt,
damit ich eine Stunde Ruhe hätte,
damit diese alten Weiber krepieren,
die nichts als kreischen.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt

O God, what could I do in this world
that I might have one hour’s rest,
that these old hags should die
who do nothing but screech.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt
