Sovente il sole
Risplende in cielo
Più bello e vago
Se oscura nube
Già l'offusco.
E il mar tranquillo
Quasi senza onda
Talor si scorge,
Se ria procella
Pria lo turbo.
Often the sun beams in the sky
With greater beauty and allure
After the dark clouds, which had dimmed it before, have cleared.
And the calm peaceful sea
Is seen with almost no waves
After the passing of a terrible storm which had agitated it before.
