Al fonte, al prato
 (Sung text for setting by G. Caccini)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Al fonte, al prato,
Al bosco, a l'ombra,
Al fresco fiato
Ch'il caldo sgombra,
Pastor correte;
Ciascun ch'a sete,
Ciascun ch'è stanco
Ripos' il fianco.

Fugga la noia,
Fugga il dolore,
Sol riso e gioia,
Sol caro amore.
Nosco soggiorni
Ne' lieti giorni.
Nè s'odan mai
Querele o lai.

Ma dolce canto
Di vaghi uccelli
Pe 'l verde manto
Degli arbuscelli
Risuoni sempre
Con nuovi tempre,
Mentre ch'a l'onde
Ecco risponde.

E mentre alletta
Quanto più puote
La giovinetta
Con rozze note
Il sonno dolce,
Ch'il caldo molce,
E noi pian piano
Con lei cantiano.

Composition:

    Set to music by Giulio Caccini (1546 - 1618), "Al fonte, al prato"
