Asia felice hor ben posso chiamarmi
Ch’è vint’in mar di me l’empio nemico.
Ma più sarò quando con gaudio l’armi
De’ figli miei faransi ogn’un amico.

Et io più all’hor felice Affrica piene
Havrò di frutti e fior l’aride arene
E, per campagne più che mai feconde
Porterà il Nilo al mar d’argento l’onde.

Felice Europa anch’io godo non meno
Che più che mai con gloriose prove
Hor sotto un vero Dio, non falso Giove
Havrò del mond’ un’ altra volta il freno.
 

English.png English translation

I, Asia, can call myself happy with good reason,
For my wicked enemy has been vanquished at sea.
Yet even happier shall I be when with joy
My sons' arms make everyone their friend.

I, Africa, happier still, shall have my sandy wastes
Filled with fruits and flowers
And the Nile, flowing through lands more fertile
Than ever seen before, will bear its waters to the silver sea.

I, Europe, happy too, rejoice no less
That more irresistibly than ever, thanks to glorious feats,
Now guided by a true God, not by false Jove,
Once again I shall take the reins of the world in my hands.
Translation by Mick Swithinbank
