Original text and translations

Italian text Al mio gioir il ciel si fa sereno; il crin fiorito il Sole ai prati inaura; danzano l’onde in mar al son de l’aura; cantan gli augei ridenti; scherzan con l’aria i venti. Così la gioia mia versando il seno io d’ogni intorno inondo e fo, col mio gioir, gioioso il mondo.

English translation The heavens become calm due to my joy; the Sun gilds the meadow's flowering mane; the sea waves dance to the sound of the breeze; the birds sing with laughter; the winds frolic in the air. Thus, with my breast overflowing with joy, I flood everywhere around me and make the whole world rejoice with my joy. Translation by Campelli
