Del iubilo del core che esce in voce
 (Sung text for setting by R. Heppener)
 See original
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
O iubilo del core. 
che fai cantar d'amore!

Quando iubilo se scalda, 
si fa l'uomo cantare; 
e la lengua barbaglia 
e non sa que parlare: 
dentro non pò celare, 
tanto è grande el dolzore!

Quando iubilo è acceso.,
si fa l'omo clanare;
lo cor d'amore è preso 
che nol pò comportare:
stridendo el fa gridare,
e non vergogna allore.

Quando iubilo ha preso 
lo cor enamorato,
la gente l'ha en deriso, 
pensando suo parlate,
parlando smesurato
de que sente calore.

O iubil, dolce gaudio, 
ched entri ne la mente, 
lo cor deventa savio 
celar suo convenente:
non può esser soffrente 
che non faccia clamore.

Chi  non ha constumanza
te reputa empazito,
vedendo svalianza
com omo ch'a desvanito:
dentro lo cor ferito 
non se sente de fuore.

Composition:

    Set to music by Robert Heppener (1925 - 2009), "Del iubilo del core che esce in voce", published 1974, first performed 1974 [ mixed chorus ], Donemus
