Cresci, pianta novella,
Sacrata al chiaro Dio,
Nel fecondo terren del pensier mio;
Che del Ciel‘ ogni stella
Con suoi benigni aspetti
Sia conforme à‘ miei detti:
A la dolce ombra de‘ tuoi rami santi
Goda il più fido de‘fedeli amanti:
E dietro à queste sponde
Ogni leggiadra Ninfa, ogni pastore
Brami cingersi il crin de la tua fronde;
Poiche novello Amore
T‘inesta nel mio core.

German.png German translation

Wachse, neue Pflanze,
heilig dem lichten Gott,
im fruchtbaren Gebiet meiner Gedanken;
jeder Stern des Himmels
möge mit seinen günstigen Aspekten
einig sein mit meinen Worten:
im süßen Schatten deiner heiligen Zweige
erfreue dich des treuesten aller treuen Geliebten:
und hinter jenen Ufern wünsche
jede hübsche Nymphe, jeder Hirte
sich das Haar mit deinem Laub zu bekränzen;
denn neue Liebe
pflanzt dich ein in meinem Herzen.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt

Grow, new plant,
sacred to the lightful God,
in the fertile soil of my thoughts;
every star in heaven
with its favourable aspects
shall conform to my words:
in the sweet shade of your sacred boughs
enjoy the most faithful of true lovers:
and behind these banks
each pretty nymph, each shepherd
shall desire to crown the locks with your leaves;
for new love
implants you in my heart.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt
