Original text and translations

Italian text Vieni Flora gentil, vieni e discaccia La nubilosa pioggia e'l verno rio, Dagli occhi e dal cor mio, Ne' la tua dolce vista, Lieta vedrai gioir l'anima trista E sparger nel tuo grembo amati fiori, Tra noi scherzando i pargoletti Amori.

English translation Translation by Allen Garvin Come gentle Flora, come and chase away the cloudy rain and the miserable winter from my eyes and from my heart. In your sweet sight, happy, you will see the sad soul rejoice, and scattering in your lap beloved flowers the little cupids disport among us.
