Venit' a nui che simo, mastri fini,
Che de ser' e de matina

Who wants to learn the galliard, lady,
(or, by way of play on words: Who wants to learn about the vigorous woman,)
Come to us, who are shrewd masters,
Who in the evening and in the morning
Never stop playing:
Tan tan tan tarira, tan ti ru ra.
Who wants to learn the galliard, lady,
Under the masters
Under the masters must stay
Who in the evening and in the morning
Never stop playing:
Tan tan tan tarira, tan ti ru ra.
