L'inargentato lido che la fronte a Nettun pomposo cinge, e d'Adria'l sen dipinge, col più amoroso grido Dori t'adora e inchina, di lui sola regina, O rari eccelsi onori cantan le Grazie e i tenerini Amori: viva la bella Dori! |
The silvered shore that girds the brow of pompous Neptune, and paints the bosom of Adria, with its most loving cry adores and bows to you, Dori, his only queen. O rare and sublime honors sing the Graces and tender Cherubs: Long live fair Dori! |
