Our translations: ENG
Alla selva, al prato, al fonte io n’andrò col gregge amato; e alla selva, al fonte, al prato l’idol mio con me verrà. In quel rozzo angusto tetto che ricetto a noi darà, con la gioia e col diletto, l’innocenza albergherà.

Le Retour aux montagnes
Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)
À la forêt, à la montagne Volons tous deux, ô mon trésor ! Quittons les champs et la campagne, Vers nos châlets prenons l'essor ! Dans l'asile où notre enfance Loin du monde s'écoula, Oui, l'espérance nous charmera Et sans cesse nous bercera.
Note for stanza 1, line 2: in the repetition, Giuliani uses "Volons gaiment, ô mon trésor !"
