here’s a translation i found on the web :
i’m breeding a nice goldfinch ( thistle finch )
what a lot of things i need to teach him !!
he must go to one and to the other one
and after it must bring me messages .
listen to me , my dear , not so far from here
there is a house , a girl lives there
you can see it , it’s not far
you must go and see that girl .
if you find her sleeping
don’t mistake her for a fairy
don’t make noise with your plumes ( wings )
otherwise , oh goldfinch , you could wake her up .
if she’s standing at the balcony
don’t mistake her for a rose
oh goldfinch , come here since there you’re out of tone
go , go away goldfinch , don’t go on staying there .
if you find her making love
hide here this knife
stick it straight into her heart
and bring me her blood
but if she’s thinking , go away very slowly ,
as quiet as a mouse , don’t interpose ,
if she want catch you with her hand
you must spring quickly in her bosom .
cheers to all folk players!
