This Giustiniana (a kind of Venetian popular song, equivalent to the villanella alia napolitana) comes from Andrea Gabrielis Greghesche et iustiniane a 3 voci, Venice, 1571. Giustiniane were normally comic songs, often sung by old men, or actors dressed as old men, and often featuring nonsense syllables, as found in the present piece. Often, as in the present case, there are double meanings. The text, of course, varies somewhat from standard Italian, with "bose" for "voce" and "zusta" for "giusta" - such differences can be found in Venetian street-names to this day.
