from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

Sia benedeto 'l verde
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Sia benedeto 'l verde e chi lo porta,
Che mi de verde vôi farme una vesta.
De verde va vestida la campagna,
De verde va vestido chi me ama.
De verde va vestido 'l cacciatore,
De verde va vestido lo mio amore.
Verde co' verde se confà con tuto:
Fora del verde nasse ogni bel fruto.

Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Gesegnet sei das Grün und wer es trägt!
Ein grünes Kleid will ich mir machen lassen.
Ein grünes Kleid trägt auch die Frühlingsaue, 
Grün kleidet sich der Liebling meiner Augen.
  In Grün sich kleiden ist der Jäger Brauch,
Ein grünes Kleid trägt mein Geliebter auch;
  Das Grün steht allen Dingen lieblich an,
Aus Grün wächs't jede schöne Frucht heran.
