Vergine gloriosa e lieta, o quanto allegro รจ fatto il tuo doglioso stato: giorno felice e santo, quando risorse il tuo figliolo amato! Deh, fa ch'anch'io risorga dal peccato. |
O glorious and joyous virgin, O how great your sorrow state is made joyful: O happy and holy day, when your beloved son rose again! Ah, make it so that I might rise from sin. |
