Or si rallegri il cielo - The King's Singers

Or si rallegri il cielo

E insuperbisca Manto

Ch’avete voi di lei lo scettro e 'l manto

Voi che vincendo andate

Il mal col bene e col saper l’etate

Cosi la mente Astrea vi regga

E’l core vi tenga aperto amore

E la corona d’oro

D’oliva ornata sia sempre d’alloro

Now let heaven rejoice

And exalt Manto

That you have her scepter and mantle

You who go on winning

Evil with good and with knowing the age

So the Astrea mind holds you up

May your heart keep love open for you

And the golden crown

Always adorned with olives with laurel
