English text
Sweet are the banks when spring perfumes
The verdant plants and laughing flow'rs,
Fragrant the violet as it blooms,
And sweet the blossoms after show'rs.
Sweet is the soft, the sunny breeze,
That fans the golden orange grove;
But oh, how sweeter far than these,
Are the dear smiles of her I love.
