Ecco la primavera,
Che’l cor fa rallegrare,
Temp’è d’annamorare
E star con lieta cera.

Noi vegiam l’aria e’l tempo
Che pur chiam’ allegria
In questo vago tempo
Ogni cosa vagheça.

L’erbe con gran frescheça
E fior’ coprono i prati,
E gli albori adornati
Sono in simil manera.

Ecco la primavera…

Here comes spring
which gladdens the heart.
It’s time to fall in love
and have a joyful face.

We see the air and the weather
bringing about good cheer.
In this happy time
everything has beauty.

The grass with great freshness
and the flowers cover the meadows.
And the trees are adorned
in a like manner.

Here comes spring…
