Text and translation

Niño que hoy nacido has
segun todos dicen de amor moriras.
Mui claro tuser des cubre
y tu divino semblante,
que eres ya perfetto amante
aunque’l ser niño lo incubre.
Dicen que tanto amaras
que herido de amor moriras.

Quando el fuego esta encendido
dentro del pecho y que arde
Es impossible que tarde
de arder tambien el vestido.
Dicen que tanto amaras
Que herido de amor moriras.

Child, that today is born,
everyone says you will die of love.
Very clearly your being shows,
and your divine countenance,
that you are already a perfect lover,
although the child’s body disguises it.
They say that you will love so much,
that wounded by love you will die.

When the fire is lit
inside the breast and it burns,
it is impossible that it will be long
before it burns the garment too.
They say that you will love so much,
that you will die wounded by love.
