Original text and translations
Italian text
- I vaghi fiori e l'amorose fronde
- e l'erba e l'aria altrui diletto danno.
- Porgon riposo gli antri e piacer l'onde,
- levanno l'arme e gl'archi ogn'aspro affanno.
- L'ombra soave al cor dolcezz' infonde;
- fuggir le gravi angosce l'aure fanno.
- Lasso me! che mia vita non restaura,
- lasso me! che mia vita non restaura
- fior, frond', erb', aria, antr', ond', arm', arch', omb', aura.
English translation
- The gracious flowers and the loving foliage
- And the grass and the air give pleasure.
- The caves give rest and the waves pleasure,
- They take away weapons, arches and every harsh anguish.
- The soft shadow infuses sweetness to the heart;
- The breeze let bitter anxiety fleet.
- Poor me! Because my life doesn't recover,
- Poor me! because my life doesn't recover
- From flowers, foliage, grass, air, caves, waves, weapons, arches, shadows, breeze.
