Translation Singable translation by Nathan Haskell Dole (1852 - 1935)

La vezzosa pastorella
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG GRE GRE POR
La vezzosa pastorella 
Va cogliendo in sul mattino 
E la rosa e il gelsomino 
Per il fido [caro] suo pastor.

Ma qual cruda, acerba pena 
Gli si desta in mezzo al core. 
Più non vede il suo pastore, 
Più non trova il suo tesor!

In the cool and dewy morning
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano) 
In the cool and dewy morning
Fares the lovely shepherd maiden
With bright roses and jasmin laden,
For her dearest one designed.

Oh the cruel disillusion,
Which no words could suffice to measure!
She can nowhere behold her treasure,
All in vain her Love she tried to find!
Alas, her shepherd she nowhere can find!
