Lyrics
I' vidi in terra angelici costumi
E celesti bellezze al mondo sole;
Tal che di rimembrar mi giova, e dole:
Che quant’io miro, par sogni, ombre, e fumi
E vidi lagrimar que' duo bei lumi
Ch’han fatto mille volte invidia al sole;
Ed udì' sospirando dir parole
Che farian gir i monti, e stare i fiumi
Amor! senno! valor, pietate, e doglia
Facean piangendo un più dolce concento
D’ogni altro, che nel mondo udir si soglia
Ed era 'l cielo all’armonia s’intento
Che non si vedea in ramo mover foglia
Tanta dolcezza avea pien l’aer e 'l vento
Lyrics translation
I ' ve seen on Earth angelic costumes
And heavenly beauties to the world Sun;
Such that it is good for me to remember, and do it:
That as I aim, as dreams, as shadows, and as smoke
And vidi tear that ' duo bei lumi
Who have made envy of the sun a thousand times;
And he heard sighing words
That farian turn the mountains, and stand the rivers
Love! senno! valor, piety, and pain
Facean crying a sweeter concentration
Of every other, that in the world udir is threshold
And it was heaven's harmony
That you do not see in the Leaf mover branch
So sweet was the air and the wind
