Original text and translations

Italian text Giunta qui Dori, e pastorelli amanti, E boscarecci numi, Danzano a garra, e vezzosette ninfe, Quivi de’suoni e canti, Grat’armonia qui fiumi, Limpido sono e fresch’e dolci linfe, Quivi d’amor la dea, Con gioia immense l’alma paga e bea, Dunque lieti cantiam tra l’herb’e fiori, Viva la bella Dori.

English translation Dori here arrived, and loving young shepherds and woodland gods vie in dance with charming nymphs. Here are music and song, tuneful harmony; here rivers are clear, and the waters fresh and sweet. Here the goddess of love requites and blesses the soul with great joy. Therefore, let us happily sing mid the plants and flowers: “Long live fair Dori!”.

Dutch translation Hier komt Dori en verliefde herdertjes en bosgeesten wedijveren in dans met leuke nimfjes. Hier is muziek en zang, op harmonieuze wijsjes; de rivieren zijn helder, en de beken fris en zoet. Hier zegent de liefdesgod de ziel en beloont het met grote vreugde. Daarom, laat ons vrolijk zingen, temidden van planten en bloemen: "Leve de schone Dori!"
