Original text and translations

Italian text L’inargentato lido, Che la fronte a Nettun pomposo cinge, E d’Adria’l sen dipinge, Col più amoroso grido, Dori t’adora e inchina, Di lui sola regina, O rari eccelsi honori, Cantan le gratie e i tenerini Amori, Viva la bella Dori.

English translation From the silvery shore, that girds the brow of the mighty Neptune and lines the breast of Adria’s sea, with an amorous cry, do I, Dori, adore thee and bow before thee, who art its sole queen; oh rare and lofty honors. The graces and the infant gods of love sing: “Long live fair Dori!”.

Dutch translation Het zilveren strand dat het voorhoofd van de machtige Neptunis omcirkelt, en de Adriatische zee afbakent: met een meest liefdevolle kreet bemin ik jou, Dori, en buig voor je, die zijn enige koningin zijt; o zeldzame eer. De gratiën en de jeugdige goden zingen: "Leve de schone Dori!"
