Nella dolce stagion di primavera
senza foglie vedrò mirti ed allori,
di verno al ghiaccio i fiori
sorger lieti, e fiorir rose e viole,
pria che da voi mio sole
scioglia quest’alma o che per l’altro oggetto,
nuovo foco d’amor mi scaldi il petto.

English.png English translation

In the sweet season of spring
I will see myrtles and laurels stand without leaves,
and in the frost of winter, flowers
bloom forth happily, and roses and violets blossom,
before from you, my Sun,
this soul would be unbound, or for another
would a new flame of love burn in my breast.

Translation by Allen Garvin
