Ballata
 (Sung text for setting by G. Malipiero)
 Matches original text
Language: French (Français) 
Donne mie, voi non sapete
Ch'io ho il mal ch'avea quel prete:
Fu un prete (questa è vera)
Ch'avea morto il porcellino.
Ben sapete che una sera
Gliel rubò un contadino,
Ch'era quivi suo vicino
Altri dice suo compare,
Poi s'andò a confessare,
E contò del porco al prete.
El messer se ne voleva
Pur andare alla ragione,
Ma pensò che non poteva,
Chè l'avea in confessione:
Dicea poi fra le persone,
Oimè, ch'io ho un male,
Ch'io non posso dire avale,
E anch'io ho il mal del prete.
