Here's a translation I found on the Web :
I'm breeding a nice goldfinch (thistle finch)
what a lot of things I need to teach him !!
He must go to one and to the other one
and after it must bring me messages.
Listen to me, my dear, not so far from here
there is a house,a girl lives there
you can see it, it's not far
you must go and see that girl.
If you find her sleeping
don't mistake her for a fairy
Don't make noise with your plumes (wings)
otherwise,oh goldfinch, you could wake her up.
If she's standing at the balcony
don't mistake her for a rose
Oh goldfinch, come here since there you're out of tone
go, go away goldfinch, don't go on staying there.
If you find her making love
hide here this knife
stick it straight into her heart
and bring me her blood
But if she's thinking, go away very slowly,
as quiet as a mouse, don't interpose,
if she want catch you with her hand
you must spring quickly in her bosom.
Cheers to all folk players!
