Zefiro torna, e 'l bel tempo rimena,
e i fiori e l'erbe, sua dolce famiglia,
et garrir Progne et pianger Filomena,
e primavera candida e vermiglia.
Ridono i prati, e 'l ciel si rasserena;
Ridono i prati, e 'l ciel si rasserena;
Giove s'allegra di mirar sua figlia;
Giove s'allegra di mirar sua figlia;
l'aria e l'acqua e la terra è d'amor piena;
l'aria et l'acqua et la terra è d'amor piena;
ogni animal d'amar si riconsiglia.
ogni animal d'amar si riconsiglia.


Ma per me, lasso, tornano i più gravi
Ma per me, lasso, tornano i piú gravi
sospiri, che del cor profondo tragge
sospiri, che del cor profondo tragge
quella ch'al ciel se ne portò le chiavi;
quella ch'al ciel se ne portò le chiavi;
e cantar augelletti, e fiorir piagge,
e 'n belle donne oneste atti soavi
sono un deserto, e fere aspre e selvagge.

<poem>
Zephyr returns and with him fair weather,
and the flowers and grass, his sweet family,
and Procne’s warbling and Philomel’s plangent song,
and spring in all its white and crimson display.
The meadows laugh, the sky is serene;
Jove delights in watching his daughter;
air and sea and earth are full of love;
every beast tells itself to find a mate.


Yet for me, alas, return those heaviest of sighs,
et cantar augelletti, et fiorir piagge,
drawn from the depths of my heart  
e 'n belle donne honeste atti soavi
by she who has taken its keys to heaven;
sono un deserto, et fere aspre et selvagge.}}
and despite birdsong and fields of flowers

and the honest, gentle acts of fair maidens

I am but a desert, surrounded by savage beasts.

The meadows smile, and the skies grow clear:
Jupiter is joyful, gazing at his daughter:
the air and earth and water are filled with love:
every animal is reconciled to loving.
 
But to me, alas, there return the heaviest
sighs that she draws from the deepest heart,
who took the keys of it away to heaven:
 
and the song of little birds, and the flowering fields,
and the sweet, virtuous actions of women
are a wasteland to me, of bitter and savage creatures.}}

Canzoniere 310
English.png English translation

Zephyr returns and brings fair weather,
and the flowers and herbs, his sweet family,
and Procne singing and Philomela weeping,
and the white springtime, and the vermilion.

The meadows smile, and the skies grow clear:
Jupiter is joyful, gazing at his daughter:
the air and earth and water are filled with love:
every animal is reconciled to loving.

But to me, alas, there return the heaviest
sighs that she draws from the deepest heart,
who took the keys of it away to heaven:

and the song of little birds, and the flowering fields,
and the sweet, virtuous actions of women
are a wasteland to me, of bitter and savage creatures.
