* Frondi tenere e belle
del mio platano amato
per voi risplende il fato;
tuoni, lampi, e procelle
non v'oltraggino mai la cara pace
ne giunga a profanarvi, austro rapace!
 
Translation by R. F. Hahn:

Fronds so tender and so handsome
Of my sycamore beloved,
For you shineth fate and fortune;
Thunder, lightning, even tempests—
Let them ne'ermore upset the peace so precious
Nor rapacious southern winds come to blaspheme you.
 
Übertragung von R. F. Hahn:

Zarte, wunderschöne Wedel
meiner Platane, die ich liebe,
euer Schicksal ist erleuchtet;
Donner, Blitze, wilde Stürme –
lass' sie niemals den geliebten Frieden stören
noch den gierigen Südwind kommen euch zu schmähen!
