Ridente la calma
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG FRE GER GRE
Ridente la calma nell'alma si desti;
Né resti più segno di sdegno e timor.
Tu vieni, frattanto, a stringer mio bene,
Le dolce catene sí grate al mio cor.
Ridente la calma nell'alma si desti;
Né resti un segno di sdegno e timor.
According to 12 songs by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, edited by John Glenn Paton, Alfred Publishing Co., 1992, this song is an arrangement of an aria from an opera called "Armida" by Josef Mysliveček, with a different text and many changes.

May a happy calm arise
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
May a happy calm arise in my soul
and may neither a bit of anger nor fear survive in it.
In the meantime you are coming, my beloved, to grasp
those sweet chains that make my heart so grateful.
May a happy calm arise in my soul
and may neither anger nor fear survive in it.
