07. "Se l'aura spira..." G. Frescobaldi.

"Orlando's Dream"
Kirill Novokhatko - counter-tenor.
(it.)
Se l'aura spira tutta vezzosa,
La fresca rosa ridente sta,
La siepe ombrosa di bei smeraldi
D'estivi caldi timor non ha.
A balli, a balli, liete venite,
Ninfe gradite, fior di beltà.
Or, che sì chiaro il vago fonte
Dall'alto monte al mar sen' va.
Suoi dolci versi spiega l'augello,
E l'arboscello fiorito sta.
Un volto bello al l'ombra accanto
Sol si dia vanto d'haver pieta.
Al canto, al canto, ninfe ridenti,
Scacciate i venti di crudelta!
(eng.)
When the breeze is all graceful,
The fresh rose stands laughing
The shady hedge of fair emeralds
Has no fear of warm summers.
To the dances, come joyously,
Pleasing nymphs, flowers of beauty.
Now that the misty fountain is so clear
From the top of the mountain to the sea.
The birdie explains its sweet verses,
And the bush in blossom stands.
Beauty's face framed in shadow nearby,
only demonstrates the virtue of mercy...
To song, to song, laughing nymphs,
Dispel the winds of cruelty!
