I vaghi fiori e l'amorose fronde
e l'erba e l'aria altrui diletto danno.
Porgon riposo gli antri e piacer l'onde,
levanno l'arme e gl'archi ogn'aspro affanno.
L'ombra soave al cor dolcezz' infonde;
fuggir le gravi angosce l'aure fanno.
Lasso me! che mia vita non restaura,
lasso me! che mia vita non restaura
fior, frond', erb', aria, antr', ond', arm', arch', omb', aura.

English.png English translation

The gracious flowers and the loving foliage
And the grass and the air give pleasure.
The caves give rest and the waves pleasure,
They take away weapons, arches and every harsh anguish.
The soft shadow infuses sweetness to the heart;
The breeze let bitter anxiety fleet.
Poor me! Because my life doesn't recover,
Poor me! because my life doesn't recover
From flowers, foliage, grass, air, caves, waves, weapons, arches, shadows, breeze.

Übersetzung: Peter Rottländer

Die anmutigen Blumen und das liebeserfüllte Laub,
Das Gras und die Luft bereiten Freude.
Die Höhlen bieten Ruhe und Gefallen die Wellen,
Die Waffen und Bögen nehmen alle herbe Sorge hinweg.
Der zarte Schatten gießt Süße ins Herz;
Der Windhauch macht die schwermütigen Ängste fliehen.
Weh mir, daß sie mein Leben nicht erneuern,
Die Blumen, Zweige, Gräser, Luft, Höhlen, Wellen, Waffen, Bögen und Schatten.
