Original text and translations

Italian text Quando ritrovo la mia pastorella Al prato con le pecor' in pastura, Io mi gli accost' e presto la saluto. La mi risponde "Tu sia el benvenuto" Et poi gli dic' in quella, "O gentil pastorella, Non men crudel che bella, Sei del mio ben ribella; Deh non esser ver me cotanto dura". Così rispond' anch'ella, "Disposta son a quel tuo cor desia, Ma se non hai denari, va alla tu via.

English translation When I meet my shepherdess In the meadow with her grazing sheep, I get near, and greet her. She answers: "May you be welcome" And then I tell her, "Oh gentle shepherdess, Not less cruel than lovely, you rebel against my love; Alas, don't be so hard on me!". And so she answers, "I am disposed towards what your heart desires, But if you have no money, go on your way!"
