La pastorella al prato
[Col gregge]¹ se ne và,
Coll' [agnelline]² al lato
Cantando in libertà.

Se l'innocente amore

La bella pastorella
Contenta ognor sarà.

La pastorcita

Language: Spanish (Español) after the Italian (Italiano)

La pastorcita va
felíz por el prado
con una ovejita al lado
cantando en libertad.

Si el amor inocente
fuese lo que gustase a su pastor,
La hermosa pastorcita
Siempre estaría felíz.
