Original text and translations

Italian text Ut re mi fa sol la: ogni armonia abbraccia con dolcezza, come il viso gentil di Lidia mia accoglie ogni bellezza. Dunque spesso cantate la sol fa mi re ut, voci beate che l'alma si compiace quando sente cantar con meraviglia ciò ch'a lei si somiglia.

English translation Ut re mi fa sol la: every harmony embraces with sweetness, as the gentle face of my Lidia welcomes every beauty. So sing often, la sol fa mi re ut, O blessed voices that the soul takes joy in, when it hears singing with wonder that which resembles her. Translation by Allen Garvin
