Original text and translations

Ombra mai fu di vegetabile, cara ed amabile, soave piu.

Never such shade was there of a plant, dear and lovable, more gentle.


Ombra mai fu ... Serse's aria from Serse

Frondi tenere e belle
Del mio Platano amato,
Per voi risplenda il Fato
Tuoni, Lampi, e Procelle
Non vi oltraggino mai la cara pace,
Ne giunga a profanarvi Austro rapace.

Ombra mai fu
Di Vegetabile,
Care ed amabile
Soave piu.

 

Tender and beautiful fronds
of my beloved plane tree,
Let Fate smile upon you.
May thunder, lightning, and storms
never bother your dear peace,
Nor may you be profaned by blowing winds.

Never was made
a plant,
dear and loving,
or more gentle.
