Hier auf den Fluren mit rosigen Wangen

Hier auf den Fluren mit rosigen Wangen,
[Hirtinnen, eilet]1 zum Tanze herbei,
Laßt [euch]2 die Wonnen des Frühlings umfangen,
Liebe und Freude sind ewiger Mai.

Hier [zu den]3 Füßen,
Holde [dir, grüßen]4
Herrscherin von Arkadien wir dich.
Flöten, Schalmeien
Tönen, es freuen
Deiner die Fluren, die blühenden sich.

Von Jubel erschallen die grünenden Hallen 
Der Höhen, die luftig,
Der [Fluren]5, die duftig
Erglänzen und [strahlen]6 in Liebe und Lust,
In schattigen Thalen,
Da schweigen die Qualen 
Der liebenden Brust.

Confirmed with Rosamunde. Drama in fünf Akten von Helmina von Chézy. Musik von Franz Schubert. Erstveröffentlichung der überarbeiteten Fassung. Mit einer Einleitung und unbekannten Quellen herausgegeben von Till Gerrit Waidelich. Verlegt bei Hans Schneider [Tutzing] 1996, p. 111.

Note: The libretto of Chézy's initial version of her play, with the title Rosamunde, Fürstinn von Cypern, which was staged in 1823 in Vienna with Schubert's music, is lost. This original version of the play comprises 4 acts. The manuscript of a revised version of Rosamunde in 5 acts has lately been discovered and published (see reference above). The Hirtenchor set by Schubert appears in act 3, scene 5 of the revised version.

Chœur des bergers

Ici, dans les champs, avec vos joues roses,
Bergères, venez vite dans la danse,
Que les délices du printemps vous entourent,
Amour et joie sont éternellement Mai.

Ici, à tes pieds, gracieuse
Reine d'Arcadie, nous te saluons.
Flûtes, pipeaux sonnent, et se réjouissent
Les champs qui fleurissent.

Pleins d'allégresse les verts espaces résonnent ;
Les sommets, aériens, les champs, parfumés,
Brillent et rayonnent d'amour et de délice,
Dans les vallées ombragées, là se taisent les tourments
Du cœur amoureux.
