La mia turca, che d'amor Non ha fè. Torce il piè. S'io le narro il mio dolor, Ond'al doppio mio martoro Languendo moro. Poi rornita se ne sta E non vol Che del sol Goda pur di sua beltá. Ond'al doppio mio martoro Languendo moro. Per la cruda intenerir Non mi val Nel mio mal Prego, lacrime o sospir. Ond'al doppio mio martoro Languendo moro. Di me ride e dell’arcier che nel sen de velen tutti sparse i miei pensier, ond’al doppio mio martoro, languendo, moro. Prendi l’arco invitto Amor, per pietà in lei fa che non sia tanto rigor. ond’al doppio mio martoro, io più non moro.

Ma petite turque qui en l'amour ne croit pas, tourne ses pas si je lui parle de ma douleur, ainsi, ma peine est doublée et en languissant je meurs. Puis elle reste seule et ne veut pas que le soleil se réjouisse de sa beauté, ainsi, ma peine est doublée et en languissant je meurs. Pour attendrir la cruelle rien ne convient pour mon mal, prière, larmes ou soupirs. ainsi, ma peine est doublée et en languissant je meurs. Elle rit de moi et son arc elle envoie une flèche empoisonnée et détruit mes rêves. ainsi, ma peine est doublée et en languissant je meurs. Prends l'arc invaincu, Amour, par pitié fais qu'elle soit moins cruelle. ainsi, ma peine est doublée et en languissant je meurs.
