Text:
"Verdi prati, selve amene,
Perderete la beltà .
Vaghi fior, correnti rivi,
La vaghezza, la bellezza
Presto in voi si cangerà .
Verdi prati, selve a mene,
Perderete la beltà .
E cangiato il vago oggetto
All'orror del primo aspetto,
Tutto in voi ritornerà .
Verdi prati, selve amene,
Perderete la beltà ."

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
RUGGIERO
Verdi prati, selve amene,
perderete la beltà.
Vaghi fior, correnti rivi,
la vaghezza, la bellezza,
presto in voi si cangerà.
Versi prati, selve amene,
perderete la beltà.
E cangiato il vago oggetto,
all'orror del primo aspetto
tutto in voi ritornerà.
English Libretto or Translation:
RUGGIERO
Green meadows, pleasant woods,
You will lose your beauty,
Pretty flowers, flowing waters,
your beauty will quickly change.
Green meadows, pleasant woods,
You will lose your beauty.
And when the beloved vision will fade,
everything will change
into the former horrible appearance.
Translation by: Aldo Boninsegna
