Original text and translations

Italian text

   Sta notte me sonnai,
  sta notte me sonnai na vidovella.
  parea che me venisse a resueliare.
  con dir che si voleva,
  con dir che si voleva confessare.

English translation

As I dozed off tonight,
  tonight sleeping with the little widow.
  I thought he was coming to replace me.
  saying that he wanted,
  saying he wanted to confess.
