E volentieri - Mediaeval Baebes

Io mi son giovinetta e volentieri

M’allegro e canto en la stagion novella

Merzèd'amore e de' dolci pensieri

Io ve pe’verdi prati riguardando

I bianchi fiori e gialli e i vermigli

Le rose in su le spine e i bianchi gigli

E tutti quanti gli vo somiglando

Al viso di colui che me, amando

Ha presa e terràsempre, come quella

Ch’altro non ha in disio ch’e suoi piaceri

Io mi son giovinetta e volentieri

M’allegro e canto en la stagion novella

Merzèd'amore e de' dolci pensieri

I am young and gladly

I cheer up and sing en la season novella

Merzèd'amore and sweet thoughts

I see you green meadows looking at

The white and yellow flowers and the vermilion

The roses in the thorns and the white lilies

And all of them I look like him

To the face of him who loves me

He took and will always hold, like that

Who else has no desire but his pleasures

I am young and gladly

I cheer up and sing en la season novella

Merzèd'amore and sweet thoughts
