Original text and translations

 Se cantano gl’augelli,
Di sopra gl’arboscelli,
Se scherzan gl’animali,
Ne i campi punti d’amorosi strali,
Se guizzando festeggiano nel’onde,
I pesci fra la grott’ime e profonde,
Perchè non faccio anch’io,
Palese l’amor mio,
Cantiam dunque pastori,
Viva la bella Dori.

English.png English translation

If the birds sing
in the treetops;
if the beasts, stung by Cupid’s dart,
sport and play in the fields;
if frisking fish are festive in the waves
mid grottoes remote and deep;
why do not I also
manifest my love?
Therefore, shepherds, let us sing:
“Long live fair Dori!”.

Dutch.png Dutch translation

 Wanneer de vogels zingen
in de toppen van de bomen,
wanneer de dieren in de weiden
hun bronstig spel vertonen,
wanneer vissen spartelen in de golven
tussen stille diepe grotten;
waarom doe ik dan niet mee,
en toon ik mijn liefde?
Kom, herders, laat ons zingen:
"Lang leve de schone Dori!"
