Here: Ecco la primavera, Che’l cor fa rallegrare, Temp’è d’annamorare E star con lieta cera.   Noi vegiam l’aria e’l tempo Che pur chiam’ allegrezza In questo vago tempo Ogni cosa vaghezza.   L’erbe con gran freschezza E fior’ coprono i prati, E gli albori adornati Sono in simil manera. Translation: Spring is here To cheer the heart. Time to fall in love And put on a merry face. The newly fresh air Calls us to cheer and merrymaking
