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!

The lovely shepherdess

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

The lovely shepherdess
goes out in the morning, gathering
both the rose and the jasmine
for her faithful [dear] shepherd.

But what cruel, bitter pain
Arises from deep in her heart:
She no longer sees her shepherd,
She no longer finds her treasure!
