Ridente la calma
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE GER GRE
Ridente la calma nell'alma si desti;
Né resti più segno di sdegno e timor.

Tu vieni, frattanto, a stringer mio bene,
Le dolce catene sí grate al mio cor.

Ridente la calma nell'alma si desti;
Né resti un segno di sdegno e timor.

According to 12 songs by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, edited by John Glenn Paton, Alfred Publishing Co., 1992, this song is an arrangement of an aria from an opera called "Armida" by Josef Mysliveček, with a different text and many changes.
