Anyone in here speak Italian? Opera question:

Che bella vit'ha'l mond'un villanello

Any clue what that means? Closest I can come is something like,
"How beautiful it is to live in one world of many villages" but I am not at all sure that's right!

Thanks!

1. I THINK that a "villanello" is a man who lives in a village

A closer translation may be "What a beautiful life a villager has in the world."

How about asking in the Langauges and Linguistics Group?
