Buon maestre rubechine - Angelo Branduardi traduction en anglais

Buon maestre rubechine

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
All these lutes are yours:
Whoever listens to their melodies
Feels a sweetness divine

These few instruments
Provide pleasure and great joy
All their strings dance and leap
Whoever holds them in his arms
But if you are a great fiddler
You can't make a beautiful calatina
But if you are a great fiddler
You can't make a beautiful calatina

To take sweet comfort
We have our loved ones here
And playing loud and strong
We know how to make beautiful estampies
Never heard before
Such charming little things
To make sweet and lovely melodies
When the strings are loose
Also these little pegs
That here within are placed
When well tuned
Will make you a gallant voice
