Original text and translations

Italian text Deh vita allabastrina Rioseninetta damaschina Perche tanto martir à chi si muore Se ben sarò slonzao Vi vorrò sempre ben fin c'harò fiao fin c'harò fiao O viso inzuccara Deh vien ti priego al quia Che me stilo il ceruello E vago in bruo Nuo per nuo.

English translation Oh alabaster life, little rose, damask rose Why tormenting him who is dying? Even if I get drunk I will love you until I regain spirits. Oh sugar face, I beg you, come to me, I'm going insane and am breaking down for us. by Luigi Cataldi
