“L’onda del mar divisa
Bagna la valle e ’l monte,
Va passegiera
In fiume,
Va prigionera
In fonte,
Mormora sempre, e game
Fin che non torna in mar.”

Bathes the mountain and the vale,
In the river passeth by.
In the fount doth prisoned lie,
Ever murmuring, ever sighing.
Till to the sea it come again.”
