Original text and translations

Italian.png Italian text

1  La terra fiorirà carca di gelo
E caderà la nev’a mezz’Aprile
Prima ch’io lasci te, Donna gentile.

2  Staranno ferme in ciel le stell'erranti
E'l Sol apparirà senza splendore
Prima ch'io lasci te, Donna, mio core.

3  Il cielo senza stelle, il mar senz'acque,
Senz'onde, senza pesci, e senz'arena,
Prima ch'io legh'il cor d'altra catena.

4  Senz'aria, e acqua, e senza terra, e foco
Vedremo al mondo gl'huomini durare,
Prima ch'io, senza te, possa campare.
