Original text and translations

Italian text Ombrose e care selve, Se sospirando in flebili susurri Al nostro lamentar vi lamentaste, Gioite anco al gioire, e tante lingue Sciogliete quante frondi Scherzano al suon di queste Piene del gioir nostro aure ridenti. Cantate le venture e le dolcezze D’Amarilli e di Tirsi Avventurosi amanti.

English translation Dear, shadowy woods, if sighing in mournful murmurs at our lament, you lamented, then take joy too at our rejoicing, and loosen as many tongues as there are boughs, delighting at the sound of these laughing breezes, full of our joy. Sing the destinies and delights of Amaryllis and Tirsi, fortunate lovers. Translation by Allen Garvin
