Translation of the song lyrics Voi ch’amate - Estampie

Voi ch’amate (original)

Voi ch’amate lo criatore
Ponete mente a lo meo dolore
Ch’io son Maria co lor cor trista
La quale avea per figliul Cristo:
La speme mia et dolce aquisto
Crocifixo per li peccatori
Voi ch’amate…
Figliulo mio, persona bella
Manda consiglio alla poverella
Gironne laxa taupinella
K’agio perduto Cristo d’amore
Voi ch’amate…
Capo bello et dilicato
Come ti vegio stare ‘nkinato
Li zuoi capelli di sangue intrecciati
Infin a la barba ve va i’rrigore
Voi ch’amate…
Bocca bella et dilicata
Come ti vegio stare assetata
Di fiele et d’aceto fosti abeverata
Trista et dolente dentr’al mio core
Voi ch’amate…
Chi mi consiglia, chi mi aiuta
La mia speranca aggio perduta:
In tanto anoscia l’anima e partuta
Dal suo corpo pieno d’aulore
Voi ch’amate…

(translation)

You who love the creator
Mind my pain
I am Maria with their sad heart
Which she had for children of Christ:
I buy my sweet and sweet hope
Crucifixo for sinners
You who love ...
My son, beautiful person
Send advice to the poor girl
Wandering around laxa taupinella
K’agio lost Christ of love
You who love ...
Beautiful and delicate garment
How do I watch you stay 'nkinato
Li zuoi hair of blood braided
Infinity in the beard goes to the penalty
You who love ...
Beautiful and delicate mouth
How I watch you stay thirsty
You were watered with gall and vinegar
Sad and painful inside my heart
You who love ...
Who advises me, who helps me
My hope lost:
In so much pain the soul and departed
From her body full of aulor
You who love ...
