This is an arrangement of the famous madrigal by Orlando de Lasso for SSA voices. It is fun and funny to sing. The words are by a foreigner in Italy who knows the language poorly and who sings to a woman he loves offering to have sex with her, in a language with many mistakes and connotations that would only be offensive, especially for the 16th century. He must have been drunk! An English translation over the music is provided.
