  An dem schönsten Frühlingsmorgen
Gieng die Schäferin und sang,
Jung und schön und ohne Sorgen,
Daß es durch die Felder drang,
So la la! le ralla.
 
  Thyrsis bot ihr für ein Mäulchen
Da drei Schäfchen gleich am Ort,
Sie besann sich nur ein Weilchen;
Doch sie sang und lachte fort,
So la la! le ralla.
 
  Und ein Andrer bot ihr Bänder,
Und der Dritte bot sein Herz;
Doch sie trieb mit Herz und Bändern
So wie mit den Lämmern Scherz,
Nur la la! le ralla.

La ritrosa

(Sung text translation for setting by D. Cimarosa)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Nel più puro mattino di primavera
una pastorella cantando andava,
giovane, bella e spensierata era,
nei campi intorno forte risuonava
il suo: Lala! Larallalà!

Per un suo bacio seduta stante,
due, tre pecorelle Tirsi le vuole donare
ma la furbetta fa finta di niente,
e sorridendo continua a cantare
il suo: Lala! Larallalà!

Un altro dei nastri lucenti le offriva,
e un terzo donarle voleva il suo cuore,
ma ella coi nastri e col cuore scherzava,
e con sue le pecore continuò a giocare
col suo: Lala! Larallalà!
