Ferma il piede o traditore. Non t'avvedi ch'a miei danni tess'inganni per traffiger il mio core. Ferma il piede o traditore. Ne gl'avori di quel seno sta la gioia del mio affetto se t'accosti in un baleno. Tu mi rubbi il cor dal petto dunque tropo m'offendi se qual Ape pretendi per mio mal. Di succhia il mio bel fiore. Ferma il piede. Ma se tenti quella bocca cerchi insieme il tuo perire poi ch'il ciel fulmini scoccha contro ogn'un, ch'usa tradire e più fieri gh'aventa contro ogni cor, che tenta d'ingannar chi è legato in man d'Amore. Ferma il piede.

Arrête ton pied, ô traître. Ne vois-tu pas qu'à mon préjudice tu tisses des ruses pour transpercer mon cœur. Arrête ton pied, ô traître. Dans l'ivoire de ce sein se tient la joie de mon sentiment. Si tu t'approches, en un éclair tu me voles mon cœur de mon sein. Donc tu m'offenses beaucoup. Comme une abeille tu exiges de mon mal de sucer la belle fleur. Arrête ton pied. Mais si tu essaies cette bouche tu recherches en même temps ton péril car le ciel libère les foudres contre tous ceux qui ont l'habitude de trahir. Et plus fort il frappe contre tout cœur qui essaie de tromper celui qui est lié par la main de l'amour. Arrête ton pied.
