Dolce speme del Ciel dono

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG

Dolce speme del Ciel dono, 
per cui sono lievi a noi gli affanni!
Dolce speme del Ciel dono, 
e sola con tua voce lusinghiera falsa, 
o vera pur un core almen consola.
A te grato, o bella speme, 
grazie insieme rendo, et voti porgo,
grazie rendo e voti porgo anch'io;
onde a render mi la pace non falace 
tu risponda al desir mio!

Sweet hope given from Heaven

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Sweet hope given from Heaven
through which worries are perceived as slight!
And solely with your falsely-alluring tone of voice,
Or perhaps truly-alluring, 
please soothe only one heart (mine).
Grateful to you, ye pleasant Hope, 
I also give thanks to you, and I make a vow ;
I myself give thanks to you and make a vow:
That you will answer my desire
and give me my long-hoped-for peace!
