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!
