La primavera See original
Language: Italian - Venetian (dialect)
Giacinti, e violete
Fa in tera baossete
Baosète:
Che gusto! che giubilo!
L'inverno è scampà.
La Neve è svania,
La brina è finia,
Xe tepida l'aria,
El sol chiapa fià.
...
Amici, fa ciera
Xe qua primavera:
Me 'l dise quel nuvolo...
Sentì! sentì el ton!
Ohimè! che sta idea
El cuor me ricrea,
E tuto desmentego
Quel fredo baron.
Ancora un meseto,
E el russignoleto
Col canto ne sgiozzolo
Su l'anima el miel.
Stagion deliziosa!
Ti vien co la rosa,
Ti parti col giglio,
Fior degno del ciel.
