Fuor de la bella [gaiba]1
Fuge lo lusignuolo.
Plange lo fantino, poiche
non trova lo
So oselino ne la gaiba nova;
E dice cum dolo:
Chi gli avrì l'usolo?
En un buschetto se mise ad andare;
Sentì l'ozletto sì dolce cantare.
Or bel, [lusignuolo]2,
torna nel mio brolo.

Out of the cage
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Out of the cage
The nightingale escapes.
He weeps over him, because
He cannot find him,
The small bird in his new cage;
And he says with pain:
Who opened the cage?
In a grove, he begins to move forward,
He hears the small bird singing so sweetly,
O beautiful, so beautiful nightingale,
Come back in my garden.
