Original text and translations
English text
Four arms, two necks, one wreathing
Two pair of lips, one breathing.
Fa la la la la la,
Two hearts that multiply sighs interchangeably,
Fa la la la la la,
The thought of this confounds me,
and as I speak it wounds me
Fa la la la la la,
It cannot be express'd, Good help me while I rest,
Fa la la la la la
Bad stomachs have their loathing,
and O this all is nothing,
Fa la la la la la
This so with griefs doth prove,
report oft turns in love.
Fa la la la la la
Portuguese translation
Quatro braços, dois pescoços, um enlaço
Dois pares de lábios, uma respiração.
Fa la la la la la,
Dois corações que multiplicam suspiros alternadamente,
Fa la la la la la
