Italian text
Ecco la primavera,
Che’l cor fa rallegrare,
Temp’è d’annamorare
E star con lieta cera.
Noi vegiam l’aria e’l tempo
Che pur chiam’ allegria
In questo vago tempo
Ogni cosa vagheça.
L’erbe con gran frescheça
E fior’ coprono i prati,
E gli albori adornati
Sono in simil manera.
Ecco la primavera
Che’l cor fa rallegrare
Temp’è d’annamorare
E star con lieta cera.
English translation
Spring has come apace
To waken hearts to gladness;
Time for lovers’ madness
And to wear a happy face.
The elements together
Are beckoning to mirth;
In this delightful weather,
Delight pervades the earth.
The grass in fresh rebirth
Helps meadows come a-flower,
And every branch and bower,
Is decked with kindred grace.
Spring has come apace
To waken hearts to gladness;
Time for lovers’ madness
And to wear a happy face.
