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".

Cosi 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 sheperdess

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 sheperdess,

Not less cruel than lovely, you rebel against my love;

Alas, don't be so hard to me!".

And so she answers,

"I am willing to what your heart desires,

But if you have no money, go your way!"
