Original text and translations

Italian text Io ti vorria contar la pena mia Ma non ce bastariano mille mesi Ti dico: voi me bene? Mi rispondi: sì; Dico: fa questo mò! Ti dici: non si può!

English translation I'd like to tell you of my sufferings, but a thousand months would not be enough. I ask, 'Do you love me?' You answer, 'Yes.' I say, 'Prove it then!' You say, 'That can't be done!'
