Apollo Et Hyacinthus, K. 38: No 9. Aria: Laetari, Iocari (Melia)

MELIA:
Laetari, iocari
Fruique divinis
Honoribus stat,
Dum Hymen optimus
Taedis et floribus
Grata, beata
Connubia iungit
Et gaudia dat.
Iam diva vocabor,
Si Numen amabo
Per astra vagabor
Et nubes calcabo:
Et urbes, et regna
Devoveant se,
Et Fauni adorent,
Et Satyri me.

MELIA:
O to rejoice, to make merry
and enjoy the honours
due to a god,
while noble Hymen
stands by with her torches and garlands,
ties the happy, blessed
marriage knot,
and grants us joy.
Now my name will be divine
if I love a god
I'll wander among the stars
and walk on clouds
cities and kingdoms
will devote themselves to me,
and fauns and satyrs
will worship me.
