Vivaldi: Dorilla in Tempe, RV 709 / Act I - Dell'aura al sussurrar (original)

Coro
Dell’aura al sussurrar,
Dell’onda al mormorar,
Cantiamo con piacer
Fra il dolce, e bel goder
Della nuova stagion
L’onore, e il vanto.
E sia di primavera
D’ogni gioir foriera
Il nostro canto.
Ninfa
Senti quell’usignolo
Su la nascente fronda,
Come il piacer l’innonda
E qual d’amor favella.
Spiegando lieto il volo
Ei cerca fido il nido
Al bel piacer ch’attende.
Coro
E in noi di primavera
D’amor lieta foriera
I voti accende.
Pastori
Ride il colle, e ride il prato
Fra viole, e gigli, e rose,
E amorose
L’aure spirano d’intorno.
La fedele rondinella
Lieta anch’ella
Per goder fa a noi ritorno.
Coro
Quest'è la bella
Stagion novella,
Che dando vita
All’erbe, ai fiori
Ai nostri cuori
Spiega l’amor.
Ella gradita
Di nevi, e brine
Dilegua al fine
L’aspro rigor.

(translation)

Choir
Of the aura to whisper,
Of the wave to murmur,
We sing with pleasure
Between the sweet, and nice to enjoy
Of the new season
Honor, and pride.
And let it be spring
Every joy heralds
Our song.
Nymph
Hear that nightingale
On the nascent branch,
How pleasure overwhelms her
And what about love speaks.
Gladly explaining the flight
And I trustfully look for the nest
To the beautiful pleasure that awaits.
Choir
And in us of spring
Happy herald of love
The votes turn on.
Shepherds
The hill laughs, and the lawn laughs
Among violets, and lilies, and roses,
And loving
The aura blows around.
The faithful little swallow
Happy too
To enjoy, he returns to us.
Choir
This is the beauty
New season,
That giving life
With herbs, with flowers
To our hearts
Explain love.
She is welcome
Of snow, and frost
Vanish in order
The harsh rigor.
