O iubelo de core
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
O iubelo de core,
che fai cantar d’amore!

Quanno iubel se scalda,
sì fa l’omo cantare;
e la lengua barbaglia,
non sa que se parlare;
drento no ’ pò celare
(tant’è granne!) el dolzore.

Quanno iubel c’è acceso,
sì fa l’omo clamare.
lo cor d’amor è apreso,
che no ’l pò comportare;
stridenno el fa gridare
e non virgogna allore.

Quanno iubelo à preso
lo core ennamorato,
la gente l’à ’n deriso,
pensanno el so parlato,
parlanno esmesurato
de que sente calore.

O iubel, dolce gaudio,
ch’è’ drento ne la mente!
Lo cor deventa savio,
celar so convenente;
non pò esser sofferente
che non faccia clamore.

Chi non à costumanza
te reputa empazzito,
vedenno esvalïanza
com’om ch’è desvanito.
Drent’à lo cor firito,
non se sente de fore.

Confirmed with Jacopone da Todi, Laude, Bari : F. Mancini Laterza, 1974
