Al par del ruscelletto chiaro
La tua vita scorra Irene,
Compagne sian le grazie amene,
E l'amistà, virtù e fè.
Il suo rigor, le tue pene
Serbi a noi soli'l fato avaro,
E sia per noi ancor più amaro
Ond' esser prodigo con te.
Irene, dea della pace,
Conserva in lei tranquillo il cor
Del suo filial amor la face
Per lunga età risplenda ancor.
Evviva dunque la bella Irene,
La delizia del nostro amor.

Like a clear little stream
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Like a clear little stream
May your life flow on, Irene,
May pleasant graces be your companions,
Friendship, virtue and faith.
Instead of you having to suffer, may the rigours
Of cruel fate affect only us,
And let things be even more bitter for us
So that fate can be generous to you.
May Irene, goddess of peace,
Retain a tranquil heart,
And may her filial love
Continue to burn for a long time.
So, long live beautiful Irene,
Our loving delight.
