Original text and translations

Italian.png Italian text

Matona, mia cara, Mi follere canzon,
Cantar sotto finestra, Lantze bon compagnon.
Don don don, diri diri, don don don don.

Ti prego m'ascoltare, che mi cantar de bon,
E mi ti foller bene, come greco e capon.
Don don don, diri diri, don don don don.

Comandar alle cacce, cacciar, cacciar con le falcon,
Mi ti portar becacce, grasse come rognon.
Don don don, diri diri, don don don don.

Se mi non saper dire, tante belle razon,
Petrarcha mi non saper, Ne fonte d'Helicon.
Don don don, diri diri, don don don don.

Se ti mi foller bene, mi non esser poltron,
Mi piccar tutta notte urtar, urtar, urtar come monton,
Don don don, diri diri, don don don don.


English.png English translation

The original text is sung by a German soldier who can speak very little Italian. This fact is given very well in the lyrics, which resemble exactly a strong German accent (even in modern Italian).
The text has many double meanings, extremely difficult to transpose in other languages.
The skill of the author exploits the limited language of the soldier, using simple expressions that help him to achieve an extremely funny monologue.

My lovely Lady, I want a song to sing
Under your window: this lancer is jolly fellow!
Don don don, diri diri, don don don don.

Please listen to me, because I'm singing well
And I'm fond of you, like a ram is of a sheep!
Don don don, diri diri, don don don don.

When I go hunting, I hunt with the falcon,
And I'll bring you a woodcock, as fat as a kidney
Don don don, diri diri, don don don don.

I cannot tell you many elegant things,
I know nothing of Petrarch, nor the Fountain of Helicon
Don don don, diri diri, don don don don.

If you'll love me I won't be lazy
I will fuck all night long, I will thrust like a ram
Don don don, diri diri, don don don don.

Matonna mia cara
Landsknecht-Ständchen

He, Fräulein, meine Liebe,
Ich singe dir ein Lied.
Sing' unter deinem Fenster,
Der Lanze ist guter Freund.
don don don, diri diri don don don don

Tu du mich doch erhören
Ich bin so schön am Singen
Und ich werde dich lieben
Wie Widder und Schaf
don don don, diri diri don don don don

Wenn wir ans Jagen gehen,
Dann mit dem Falkentiere
Ich bring' dir eine Schnepfe
So fett wie eine Niere
don don don, diri diri don don don don

Wenn ich nicht Worte finde
Zu solchen schönen Sachen,
Kann nicht Petrarch und nicht der Quell
von Helikon es besser machen.
don don don, diri diri don don don don

Wenn du mir lieb sein werdest,
Will ich nicht träge sein,
ich ficke bis zu Morgen
Und rammele wie'n Widder
don don don, diri diri don don don don
