Matona mia cara (Anonymous, set by R. de Lassus) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Matona mia cara, mi follere canzon
cantar sotto finestra, Lanze bon compagnon. 
Don don don diridiridon don don don 

Ti prego m'ascoltare che mi cantar de bon
e mi ti foller bene come greco e capon. 
Don don don diridiridon don don don 

Com'andar alle cazze, cazzar con le falcon,
mi ti portar beccazze, grasse come rognon
Don don don diridiridon don don don 

Se mi non saper dire tante belle rason
Petrarca mi non saper, ne fonte d'Helicon. 
Don don don diridiridon don don don 

Se ti mi foller bene mi non esser poltron;
mi ficcar tutta notte, urtar come monton
Don don don diridiridon don don don
