Echo la primavera
Echo la primavera,
Che’l cor fa rallegrare,
Tenp’è d’annamorare
E star con lieta cera.
Here is the spring,
That makes the heart rejoice,
It is time to fall in love
And put on a happy face.
No’ vegiam l’aria e’l tenpo
Che pur chiam’ allegreçça.
In questo vago tenpo
Ogni cosa à vagheçça.
We see the air and the weather
That also call to joy
In this lovely season
Everything is charming.
L’erbe con gran frescheçça
E fior’ coprono i prati,
E gli albori adornati
Sono in simil manera.
The grasses with great freshness
And flowers cover the meadows,
And the trees adorned
Are also in the same way.

La vie en rose
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas,
Je vois la vie en rose.
Il me dit des mots d’amour,
Des mots de tous les jours,
Et ça me fait quelque chose.
Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause.
C’est lui pour moi et moi pour lui
Dans la vie,
Il me l’a dit, l’a juré pour la vie.
Et des que je l’aperçois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat
When he takes me in his arms
He speaks to me in a soft voice
I see life in rosy hues.
He says words of love to me,
Words everyday,
And that does something for me.
He has entered into my heart
A part of happiness
of which I know the cause It’s him for me and me for him
In life,
He said it to me, and swore it for life.
And once I realize
Then I sense it in myself
My heart that beats.
O Virgo
O Virgo
Splendens hic in monte celso
Miraculis serrato
fulgentibus ubique
Quem fideles
conscendunt universi,
Eya pietatis oculo placato,
Cerne ligatos fune peccatorum
Ne infernorum ictibus graventur
Sed cum beatis tua prece vocentur
O Virgin,
resplendent on this high mountain,
miraculous, jagged,
shining all around,
where the faithful
from everywhere climb,
Ah, with your gentle merciful eye
see those bound in sin,
let them not be weighed down by the blows of hell
but be called among the blessed by your prayer.
