  Pace hormai su non piu guerra
  Cessi hormai tanto furore
  sia tra noi constante el core
  seguir pace e non piu guerra
  pace hormai su non piu guerra

  Sio fero ver te fidele
  A seguirte in ogni locho
  Non serrai tu a me crudele
  Per che smorza a pocho apocho
  Stringui amor con agua e focho
  E destruggi tutto il terra

 Hor sia sempre una sol voglia
 e tra noi continua pace
 ne gia mai piu se disfoglia
 quel che a te ame piace
 non dar fede alcun mendace
 chogni amor quel rompe e serra

Ho disposto cossi sia
fin chel ciel mi dona vita
ne pensar che mai piu fia
che da te faccia partita
e da poi lalma uscita
lassato scolpito in terra

  pace hormai su non piu guerra

Let there be peace now, no more war.
Let the fury cease now.
Let our hearts be in accord
to follow peace and not longer war
Let there be peace now, no more war

Truly, I was faithful to you,
following you everywhere.
You will not be cruel to me
strangling me little by little
estinguishing love with fire and water
destroying all my world

Let us always be unified in will
and let peace stay between us.
Let our unity newer again fall apart
and my love be pleasing to you.
Do not believe any lies
that every love breaks or comes to an end.

I have decided, and thus will I be yours,
As long as heaven gives me life.
Do not ever again think
that I will leave you.
Even when my soul departs
let my love be sculpted in earth.

Let there be peace now, no more war
