Ombra Mai Fu

Tender and beautiful fronds
of my beloved plane tree,
may fate shine upon you.
Thunders, lightnings, and storms
may they never disturb your dear peace,
nor may the rapacious south wind
come to profane you.

Never was shade
of any plant
dear and lovely,
sweeter.

Never was shade
of any plant
dear and lovely,
sweeter.

Dear and lovely,
never was shade
of any plant
dear and lovely,
sweeter.
sweeter.
