So che pastor son io
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
So che pastor son io
né cederei finor
lo stato d’un pastor
per mille imperi.
Se poi lo stato mio
il ciel cangiar vorrà,
il ciel mi fornirà
d’altri pensieri.

I know that I am a shepherd
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
I know that I am a shepherd
and until now I would not
yield my lowly pastoral state
for a thousand empires.
If it should happen that heaven
should desire to change my state,
then it will provide me with
other thoughts accordingly.
