Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
PASTORE I e PASTORE IlAlcun non sia che disperato in preda
Si doni al duol, benché talor n'assaglia
Possente sì che nostra vita inforsa.
Ritornello
NINFA, PASTORE III, PASTORE IV
Che, poiché nembo rio gravido il seno
D'atra tempesta inorridito ha il mondo,
Dispiega il sol più chiaro i rai lucenti.
Ritornello
PASTORE III e PASTORE I
E dopo l'aspro gel del verno ignudo,
Veste di fior la Primavera i campi!
CORO di NINFE e PASTORI
Ecco Orfeo, cui pur dianzi
Furon cibo i sospir, bevanda il pianto:
Oggi felice è tanto
Che nulla è più che da bramar gli avanzi.
ATTO SECONDO
English Libretto or Translation:
FIRST & SECOND SHEPHERDSLet there be no one who, in despair, gives himself up in prey
to grief, though at times it may powerfully
assail us and darken our lives.
Ritornello
NYMPH, THIRD & FOURTH SHEPHERDS
For after a malign cloud, its womb heavy
with a fearful storm, has affrighted the world,
the sun displays more brightly his radiant beams.
Ritornello
THIRD & FIRST SHEPHERDS
And after the sharp frost of naked winter,
Spring decks the fields with flowers.
CHORUS of NYMPHS & SHEPHERDS
Here is Orpheus, for whom but recently
sighs were food and tears drink:
today he is so happy
that he has nothing more to long for.
