by Gaius Valerius Catullus (c84 BCE - 54 BCE)
Translation by Mario Rapisardi (1844 - 1912)

Iam uer egelidos refert tepores
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  ENG
Iam uer egelidos refert tepores,
Iam caeli furor aequinoctialis
Iucundis Zephyri silescit auris.
Linquantur Phrygii, Catulle, campi
Nicaeaeque ager uber aestuosae:
Ad claras Asiae uolemus urbes.
Iam mens praetrepidans auet uagari,
Iam laeti studio pedes uigescunt.
O dulces comitum valete coetus,
Longe quos simul a domo profectos
Diuersae uarie uiae reportant.

Version with alternate spelling (as used by Cooman):
Iam ver egelidos refert tepores,
iam caeli furor aequinoctialis
iocundis Zephyri silescit aureis.
Linquantur Phrygii, Catulle, campi
Nicaeque ager uber aestuosae:
ad claras Asiae volemus urbes.
Iam mens praetrepidans avet vagari,
iam laeti studio pedes vigescunt.
O dulces comitum valete coetus,
longe quos simul a domo profectus
diversae variae viae reportant.

Già sciolti i gelidi lacci, leggera
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the Latin 
Già sciolti i gelidi lacci, leggera
     Sen torna e tiepida la Primavera;

Già l’equinozio riede, e al giocondo
     Spirar di zefiro si schiara il mondo.

Lascia or la Frigia, Catullo, e i piani
     Di Nicea fertili, benchè malsani;

Su, d’Asia all’inclite città voliamo:
     Non soffro indugj, vagare io bramo.

Al grato ufficio, con nuovo ardore
     I piè mi brillano, mi trema il core.

Addio, bel numero d’amici eletti,
     Che insiem partendovi da’ patrj tetti,

Da lungi a’ patrj tetti ritorno
     Per vie sì varie farete un giorno.
