Più liete imagini
nell’alma aduna.
Già la Fortuna
ti porge il crine.
È tempo alfine
di respirar.

Avvezzo a vivere
Senza conforto
In mezzo al porto
Pavento il mar.

Fifths

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Chosen for Diff

Happier images
proceed to congregate in your soul.
Fortune now hands you her locks.
It is time at last to breathe.

Accustomed to living
a life deprived of comfort,
I fear the sea
even in the midst of port.
