Text :
Giovan Leonardo Primavera (c.1540-c.1585)
with Hannie Rayson and Michael Cathcart*
(*adapted from John Weiley’s narration to the Imax documentary Solarmax)
Nasce la gioia mia Ogni volta ch’io miro il mio bel sole, E la mia vita e via Qualor nol miro, Perch’e il sguardo tale Ch’ogni volta beato farmi suole. O Sol, o Sol almo immortale. |
[My joy is born every time I gaze at my beautiful sun: but my life dies when I cannot look at it, for the very sight is bliss to me. O Sun, immortal life-giver.] |
