Original text and translations

Italian text

Ride la primavera,
torna la bella Clori,
odi la rondinella,
mira l'herbette e i fiori.
Ma tu Clori più bella,
nella stagion novella.
Serbi l'antico verno,
deh, s'hai pur cinto il cor
di ghiaccio eterno.
Perchè, ninfa crudel,
quanto gentile,
porti negl'occhi il sol,
nel volt'aprile ?
