Silvio amante disperato

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: GER

Silvio amante disperato,
  Sfortunato - cacciatore;
  Infelice pastorello,
  Per un core -  senza amore
  Pure alfin cedendo al Fato
  Quì per sempre riposò.
Pastorelli, cacciatori,
  Che passate - ov' egli giace,
  Gli augurate - quella pace
  Che la perfida sua Clori
  Gli promise, e gli mancò.

Silvio, untröstlicher Verliebter

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

Silvio, untröstlicher Verliebter,
glückverlass’ner Jagdgeselle,
unglücksel’ger Hirtenjunge,
dessen Herz blieb ohne Liebe,
seinem Schicksal sich ergebend
ruht sich hier für immer aus.
Hirtenjungen, Jägersleute,
die am Grabe ihr vorbeikommt,
wünscht, was seinem Frieden frommt,
den seine perfide Clori
wohl versprochen, niemals hielt.
