La morte verrà all'improvviso
Death will come suddenly
Avrà le tue labbra e i tuoi occhi
He will have your lips and eyes
Ti coprirà di un velo bianco
It will cover you with a white veil
Addormentandosi al tuo fianco
Falling asleep by your side
Nell'ozio, nel sonno, in battaglia
In idleness, in sleep, in battle
Verrà senza darti avvisaglia
It will come without giving you warning
La morte va a colpo sicuro
Death goes to a sure blow
Non suona il corno né il tamburo
He doesn't play the horn or the drum
Madonna che in limpida fonte
Madonna that in clear source
Ristori le membra stupende
Refreshments the beautiful limbs
La morte non ti vedrà in faccia
Death won't see your face
Avrà il tuo seno e le tue braccia
She will have your breasts and arms
Prelati, notabili e conti
Prelates, notables and accounts
Sull'uscio piangeste ben forte
On the door wept well
Chi bene condusse sua vita
Who well led his life
Male sopporterà sua morte
Evil will endure his death
Straccioni che senza vergogna
Rags that without shame
Portaste il cilicio o la gogna
Bring the cilicium or pillory
Partirvene non fu fatica
Partirvene was not fatigue
Perché la morte vi fu amica
Because death was a friend to you
Guerriero che in punta di lancia
Warrior at the tip of the spear
Dal suolo d'oriente alla francia
From eastern soil to France
Di stragi menaste gran vanto
Of menaste massacres great pride
E fra i nemici il lutto e il pianto
And among the enemies mourning and crying
Di fronte all'estrema nemica
In the face of the extreme enemy
Non vale coraggio o fatica
Not worth courage or effort
Non serve colpirla nel cuore
No need to hit her in the heart
Perché la morte mai non muore
Why death never dies
Non serve colpirla nel cuore
No need to hit her in the heart
Perché la morte mai non muore
Why death never dies
