by Fausto Salvatori (1870 - 1929)

Canto di primavera
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Aprite tutte le finestre al sole,
Aprite il vostro cuore alla speranza:
Colla fiorente sua corte s’avanza 
L’aprile e s’incorona di viole.
Tremano l’acque e s’odono parole
Tra i rami dove qualche nido ha stanza:
Quale se aprile inghirlandato danza,
In fondo al core anima si dole?

O cuori stanchi, o anime ne’ sonni giacenti
O dolorose vite cui non risero mai fati giocondi
Al sole tutte le finestre aprite
E la luce per gli occhi il core inondi,
Cantano l’acque, cantan le foreste:
Udite! Aprite tutte le finestre al sol!
