Lyrics of Or si rallegri il cielo - The King's Singers

Or si rallegri il cielo (original)

Or si rallegri il cielo
E insuperbisca Manto
Ch’avete voi di lei lo scettro e 'l manto
Voi che vincendo andate
Il mal col bene e col saper l’etate
Cosi la mente Astrea vi regga
E’l core vi tenga aperto amore
E la corona d’oro
D’oliva ornata sia sempre d’alloro

(translation)

Now let heaven rejoice
And exalt Manto
That you have her scepter and mantle
You who go on winning
Evil with good and with knowing the age
So the Astrea mind holds you up
May your heart keep love open for you
And the golden crown
Always adorned with olives with laurel
