Original text and translations

Italian text Felice primavera Di bei pensier fiorisce nel mio core Novo lauro d’amore, A cui ride la terra e il ciel d’intorno: E di bel manto adorno Di giacinti e vïole il Po si veste.

English text Happy springtime With fair thoughts my heart blooms A new laurel of love At which earth and sky smile all around: And in a beautiful mantle adorned With hyacinths and violets the river Po dresses itself.
