Buon maestre rubecchine - Angelo Branduardi traduction en anglais

Buon maestre rubecchine

Buon maestre rubechine
Queste lanzi tutte state:
Chi ascolti sue sonate
Un dolceze par divine

Queste poche istromentuze
Dar dilette et gran sollaze
Tutte cuor salte et galluzze
Chi ′l tener sonande in braze
Ma se star gran rubechaze
Non può far bel calatine
Ma se star gran rubechaze
Non può far bel calatine

Per pigliar dolce conforte
Abbiam qui nostre marite
Et sonando forte forte
Sappiam far belle stampite
Non afer ma' più sentite
Sì galante coselline
Per far suone chiare et belle
Quando star corde allentate
Anche queste bischerelle
Che qui drente star ficate
Quando afer ben temperate
Ti far voce galantine

Good Master Violinist

Good Master Violinist
These lances all so fine they'll be:
Whoever hears their melodies
They'll find a sweetness divine

These few instruments
Give joy and great delight
All your hearts will skip and dance
When you hold them in your hands so light
But if you're a great violinist
You won't be able to make a beautiful sound
But if you're a great violinist
You won't be able to make a beautiful sound

To take sweet comfort
We have our wives
And playing loud and strong
We know how to make beautiful estampies
Never heard before
Such fine and charming things
To make clear and lovely sounds
When the strings are slack
These fine pegs
That are fixed inside here
When they are well tuned
They will make your voice sound fine
