OMBRA MAI FU
George Frideric Handel
(Serse)
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 THE SHADE
Kind and lovely branches
of my beloved plane-tree,
Fate smiles for you.
May thunder, lightning and tempest
never shock your dear peace,
nor the rapacious south wind
come to violate you!
Never was the shade
of any plant
sweeter, dearer,
more agreeable!
Never was the shade
of any plant
sweeter, dearer,
more agreeable!
Sweeter, dearer,
never was the shade
of any plant
sweeter, dearer,
more agreeable,
more agreeable!
