Ecco mormorar l'onde
e tremolar le fronde
a l'aura mattutina e gli arboscelli,
e sovra i verdi rami i vaghi augelli
cantar soavemente
e rider l'oriente.
Ecco già l'alba appare
e si specchia nel mare
e rasserena il cielo
e [le campagne] imperla il dolce gelo,
e gli alti monti indora.
O bella e vaga Aurora,
L'aura è tua messaggera,
 [e tu de l'aura
ch'ogni arso cor ristaura.

English.png English translation

Here are the waves murmuring
and the foliage quivering
at the morning breeze; and the shrubs,
and on the tree branches the pretty birds
sing softly;
and the Orient smiles.
Here dawn looms up
and is reflected in the sea
and brightens up the sky
and beads the sweet ice
and gilds the tall mountains.
O beautiful and vague dawn,
the gentle breeze is your herald
and you [are the herald] of the breeze
which refreshes every burnt heart.

Translation by Campelli

Voilà le murmure des ondes
et le frisson des frondes
à la brise du matin et les arbustes
et sur branches vertes les beaux oiseaux
chantent suavement
et l'Orient rit[;]
voici que l'aube apparaît
et se reflète dans la mer
et le ciel se rassérène
et le doux gel couvre de perles la campagne
et dore la sommité des montagnes.
Ô belle et gracieuse Aurore,
la brise est ta messagère
 [et toi celle de la brise,
qui restaure tout cœur brûlé.

Translation by Campelli
Czech.png Czech translation

Hle, jak šumí vlny příboje
a listovím třepotaje
ranní větřík keře rozechvěje.
V zeleném větvoví něžní ptáci
Přesladce zpívají
A úsvit se usmívá.
Hle, už se rozbřesk ukázal
a zhlíží se mořské hladině
a nebe rozzářil
a rozsypal perly v trávě
a vrcholky hor oblékl do zlata.
O jasná a spanilá jitřenko,
Vítr je tvůj posel a ty na něm letíš,
a ten každé planoucí srdce uzdraví.

German.png German translation

Horch, die Wellen murmeln
und das Laub zittert
in der morgendlichen Brise, und die Sträucher,
und auf den grünen Zweigen die hübschen Vögel
singen lieblich,
und der Osten lacht.
Schau, schon erscheint die Dämmerung
und spiegelt sich im Meer
und heitert den Himmel auf,
und die Felder beperlt der sanfte Frost [Tau],
und sie vergoldet die hohen Berge.
O schöne und liebliche Morgenröte,
die Brise ist deine Botin, und du die ihre,
die jedes wunde Herz erquickt.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt
