Ne' campi e nelle selve

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FIN GER

[Ne']¹ campi e nelle selve
  Seguivo già le belve,
  Pascevo il gregge ancor
  Libero pastorello,
  Libero cacciator;
  Ora non son più quello:
  Perdei la libertà.
E quel ch'è peggio, oh Dio,
  Come se il mio tormento
  Colpa non sia di lei,
  Mostrare al mio lamento
  Clori non vuol pietà.

Pelloilla ja metsissä

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the Italian (Italiano)

Pelloilla ja metsissä
olen ennen ajanut riistaa
ja paimentanut laumaani
vapaana paimenena,
vapaana metsästäjänä.

Mutta enää en ole sellainen.
menetin vapauteni.
Ja mikä pahinta, hyvä Luoja,
tyttö väittää, ettei tuskani
olisi hänen syytään,
niinpä minun valitukseni
eivät saa Clorista liikuttumaan.
