Aria: Simon Der munt're Hirt versammelt nun die frohen Herden um sich her; zur fetten Weid' auf grünen Höh'n treibet er sie langsam fort. Nach Osten blickend steht er dann auf seinem Stabe hingelehnt, zu seh'n den ersten Sonnenstrahl, welchem er entgegenharrt. Hanne Die Morgenröte bricht hervor; wie Rauch verflieget das leichte Gewölk; der Himmel pranget in hellem Azur, der Berge Gipfel in feurigem Gold.

Air : Simon Maintenant le pâtre vif rassemble Ses joyeux troupeaux autour de lui ; Vers les prairies grasses sur les collines vertes Il les mènent lentement. Le regard tourné vers l'est il se tien Appuyé sur son bâton, Pour voir le premier rayon du soleil, Qu'il attend avec impatience. Anne L'aube fait irruption ; Comme une fumée les nuages légers se dissipent ; Le ciel brille dans l'azur vif, Les cimes des montagnes brillent d'un or enflammé.
