Original text and translations

Italian text In una verde piaggia vidi Ninfe e Pastori passar gli estivi ardori fra dolci suoni e leggi adretti balli, e cinti il crin' di fiori vermigli e gialli scoprire con festa e gioco l'un' all'altro del cuor l'ardente fuoco, indi cantare con modi alti e sonori: "Viva la bella Dori!"

English translation (rough translation) I saw in a green meadow Nymphs and shepherds walking in spring love fire and dancing with sweet music. And they bound themselves with wreaths of blue and yellow flowers and playing hide-and-seek. One's heart burns for other therefore singing with loud and high voice: "Cheers for beautiful Doris!"

Dutch translation Op een groen strand zag ik ninfen en herders, in de zomerhitte zitten. Zij maakten zoete klanken en dansten sierlijk, en hadden hun hoofden getooid met rode en gele bloemen. Spelend toonden zij elkaar hun vurige hartewens, en zongen luid en klankvol: "Leve de schone Dori!"
