by Carlo Pepoli, Conte (1796 - 1881)
Translation by G. Friedrich

Son bella pastorella
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  CHI ENG SPA
Son bella pastorella,
che scende ogni mattino
ed offre un cestellino 
di fresche frutta e fior.

Chi viene al primo albore
avrà vezzose rose
E poma rugiadose, 
venite al moi gairdin,
ahu, ahu...

Chi del notturno orrore
Smari la buona via, 
alla capanna mia 
ritrovera il cammin.

Venite o passagiero,
La pastorella è qua,
Ma il fior del suo pensiero
Ad uno solo darà!
Ahu, ahu...

Die Alpenhirtin
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
 Ich bin die schöne Hirtin
 Und reich' an jedem Morgen
 Als freundlich munt're Wirtin
 Euch Frücht' und Blumen dar!

 Kommt ihr am jungen Tage.
 Empfangt ihr prächt'ge Rosen,
 und rote Äpflein trage
 ich meinen Gästen auf.
 Ahu, ahu ...

 Und wer in Nachtes Grauen
 Den rechten Weg verfehlte
 Mir kann er wohl vertrauen
 Ich leite ihn zurecht.

 Bist du jetzt nicht mehr müde
 So folg meiem Schritt nach,
 doch meines Herzens Blüte
 bleibt Einem treu bewahrt.
 Ahu, ahu...
