Io veggio I campi verdeggiar fecondi, E le rive fiorite, e i coll’intorno E gravidi di pomi arbori, e frondi, E d’infinite ville il lido adorno Sento i venti spirar dolci e giocondi Serenissimo il sol qui spiega il giorno Scendete omai, prendete al fin riposo Sperando ai vostri affann’ il ciel pietoso.

I see fertile fields turning green, And flowery banks, and hills all around, And trees laden with apples, and leafy boughs, And the countryside adorned with houses; I hear winds blowing gentle and playful, The most serene sun unfolds the day. Come down now, and take your rest at last, Hoping that the heavens have mercy upon your cares.
