O che felice giorno
Grato à noi fa ritorno.
Celebriamolo tutti
in feste e in canto.
Ne Pastor sia fra queste selv’intanto,
Che di gioia e d’Amor
Non vesti l‘alm’e’l core.
E di mille sampogne odassi intorno
Lieti sonar ogn’antro, ogni soggiorno.

German.png German translation

Oh welch glücklicher Tag
kehrt freundlich zu uns zurück.
Feiern wir ihn alle
mit Festen und Gesängen.
Kein Hirte sei in all diesen Wäldern,
der nicht mit Freude und Liebe
Seele und Herz erfülle.
Und aus tausend Sackpfeifen höre man ringsum
fröhlich ertönen jede Höhle, jede Behausung.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt

O succh a happy day
gratefully comes back to us.
Let us all celebrate it
with feasting and singing.
Be there no shepherd in all these woods,
that would not with joy and love
fill his soul and heart.
And from a thousand bagpipes around shall be heard
resounding merrily each cavern, each dwelling.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt
