Original lyrics
Matona mia cara
Matona, mia cara, Mi follere canzon,
Cantar sotto finestra, Lantze bon compagnon.
Don don don, diri diri don don don don.
Ti prego m'ascoltare, che mi cantar de bon,
E mi ti foller bene, come greco e capon.
Don don don, diri diri don don don don.
Comandar alle cacce, cacciar, cacciar con le falcon,
Mi ti portar becacce, grasse come rognon.
Don don don, diri diri don don don don.
Se mi non saper dire, tante belle razon,
Petrarcha mi non saper, Ne fonte d'Helicon.
Don don don, diri diri don don don don.
Se ti mi foller bene, mi non esser poltron,
Mi ficcar tutta notte urtar, urtar, urtar come monton,
Don don don, diri diri don don don don.

Translation
My dearest lady
My dearest Lady, I foolishly want to sing
Under your window: this landsknecht is a good fellow!
Don don don, diri diri don don don don.
Please listen to me, because I'm singing well
And I'm as fond of you as a Greek is of a capon.
Don don don, diri diri don don don don.
Command me to go hunting, hunting by falcon,
I'll bring you woodcocks, as fat as kidneys smooth
Don don don, diri diri don don don don.
If I don't know how to tell you many fine reasons, (it is because)
Petrarca I do not know, nor the Fountain of Helicon.
Don don don, diri diri don don don don.
If you'll be fond of me eagerly I won't be a "poltrone" (idler),
I will have sex with you all night long, like a ram.
Don don don ...
