Nube gentil
Original Language: Italian
Nube gentil, che di lucente velo
Cuopri 'l Re della gloria od'il tuo vanto.
Tu rendi raggi al sole il sole al Cielo
.E degli angeli fai più dolc'il canto.
Ahi che te non produsse il cald'o il gielo
ma i cocenti sospir l'amaro pianto
di quei che rimirar nel lieto giorno
fare il Re delle stelle al Ciel ritorno.
English
Gentle cloud, who with a glowing veil
cloak the King of glory, hear your praise:
You give rays to the sun, the sun to Heaven,
and make sweeter the song of angels.
Ah, you were not produced by heat or cold,
but by the hot sighs, the bitter tears,
of those who saw on that happy day
the return of the King of the stars to Heaven.
Translated by:
Dr Richard Kolb
