Too much I once lamented,
while love my heart tormented,
fa la la la.
Alas, and ay me,
sat I wringing,
now chanting go, and singing,
fa la la la.

Translation by Peter Rottländer
Zu sehr jammerte ich einst,
Als die Liebe mein Herz quälte,

Nun gehe hin, singe und spiele.
Falala, ...

Translation by Timo Baucken
Troppo lamentai [le mie pene] quella volta
che l’amore mi tormentò il cuore.
Fa la la la ...

me ne stetti seduto torcendomi [dalla disperazione] –
e ora vai a [ballare e] cantare!
Fa la la la ...
