Sorge l'irato nembo

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG

Sorge l'irato nembo,  
e la fatal tempesta,
col sussurrar dell'onde,
ed agita, e confonde,
e cielo e mare.

Ma fugge in un baleno
l'orrida nube infesta,
e 'l placido sereno
in cielo appare.

The wrathful storm cloud arises

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

The wrathful storm-cloud arises,
and a deadly storm,
along with the whispering of the waves
turns topsy-turvy and upside down
both heavens and sea.

Yet this horrid, perilous cloud
flees in a flash,
and the sky all of a sudden
turns peaceful.
