Original text and translations

Italian text Selve beate, se sospirando in flebili susurri, al nostro lamentar vi lamentaste, gioite anco al gioire, e tante lingue sciogliete quante frondi scherzano al suon di queste, piene del gioir nostro aure ridenti.

English translation O happy woods, since often you quietly sighed and wept at our weeping, then rejoice also in our joy, and use as many tongues as all the leaves that quiver at the sound of these sweet winds, full of our rejoicing. Translation by Campelli
