La pastorella al prato
Contenta se ne và,
Coll' agnellino al lato
Cantando in libertà.

The little shepherdess

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

The litle shepherdess goes
happily through the meadow
With a little lamb at her side
singing in freedom

If innocent love
were what her shepherd liked,
The beautiful shepherdess
Would always be happy.
