Italian text
Come raggio di sol, mite e sereno,
Sovra placidi flutti si riposa,
Mentre del mare nel profondo seno
Sta la tempesta ascosa.
Così riso talor gaio e pacato
Di contento, di gioia un labbro infiora,
Mentre nel suo segreto il cor piagato
S'angoscia e si martora.
English translation
See how the sun's clear rays radiant and lustrous
dance and play on the billows gently surging while
far below them buried deep and sunless a hidden
tempest is raging even so tho'on my face a smile
be creeping sweet contentment a mask of pure
enjoyment while in its secret chambers the
heart lies weeping in grief and woe and torment.
