Original text and translations

Italian text

Cantan gl'augelli alla fresc' aur' il giorno,
I lor felici è fortunati amori,
Et hor tra frondi e tra vermigli fiori,
Fan con gl'amanti lieti almo soggiorno.

Le Ninfe,
Menan danz' e ball' intorno,
Destando foco al petto de pastori,
Quai d'amorosi mirti e verdi allori,
Han la dolce Zampogna e'l crin adorno.
