Ombra Mai Fu
Frondi tenere e belle
del mio platano amato,
per voi risplenda il fato.
Tuoni, lampi, e procelle
non v'oltraggino mai la cara pace,
né giunga a profanarvi
austro rapace.
Ombra mai fu
di vegetabile
cara ed amabile,
soave più.
Ombra mai fu
di vegetabile
cara ed amabile,
soave più.
Cara ed amabile,
ombra mai fu
di vegetabile
cara ed amabile,
soave più.
soave più.
Never Was Shade
Tender and beautiful fronds
of my beloved plane tree,
may fate shine upon you.
Thunders, lightnings, and storms
may they never disturb your dear peace,
nor may the rapacious south wind
come to profane you.
Never was shade
of any plant
dear and lovely,
sweeter.
Never was shade
of any plant
dear and lovely,
sweeter.
Dear and lovely,
never was shade
of any plant
dear and lovely,
sweeter.
sweeter.
