Ombra Mai Fu

Never Was Shade

Ombra Mai Fu

Tender and beautiful frondsFrondi tenere e belle
of my beloved plane tree,del mio platano amato,
may fate shine upon you.per voi risplenda il fato.
Thunders, lightnings, and stormsTuoni, lampi, e procelle
may they never disturb your dear peace,non v'oltraggino mai la cara pace,
nor may the rapacious south windné giunga a profanarvi
come to profane you.austro rapace.

Never was shadeOmbra mai fu
of any plantdi vegetabile
dear and lovely,cara ed amabile,
sweeter.soave più.
