O chyrazza glicchi galande e bella
cando sarà chel di chie veda e senda
chel to bochin candar e far cuntenda
la mia Psicchi, chie dendro mel martella?
Vien zurno chiaro a farme veder chella
unde ch'amor el so fasella ardenda impizza
e fa chiel mio cardia devenda
brunza del fogo e scotta la buella.

Gia to cacòmu tardi el vegnerastu,
giathi el cacchi forduna havè zurao
slongar cul tembo l'hure c'hà vegniri.
Prengaro tando Giòve,
chiel farastu scurdar la zurni e l'hure
e mi ghidao sarò in so spithi,
a vederla e sendiri
candar chelli susbiri
amorusi e sonar sul viola in tembo,
al despetto de ti forduna e tembo.
