Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
Balletto
CORO di NINFE e PASTORI
Lasciate i monti,
Lasciate i fonti,
Ninfe vezzose e liete.
E in questi prati
Ai balli usati
Vago il bel piè rendete.
Qui miri il sole
Vostre carole,
Più vaghe assai di quelle
Ond'alla luna,
La notte bruna,
Danzano in ciel le stelle.
Ritornello
Lasciate i monti, ecc.
Poi di bei fiori
Per voi s'onori
Di questi amanti il crine,
Ch'or dei martiri
Dei lor desiri
Godon beati al fine.
English Libretto or Translation:
BallettoCHORUS of NYMPHS & SHEPHERDS
Leave the mountains,
leave the fountains,
charming, happy nymphs,
and in these meadows
rejoice your fair feet
with your accustomed dances.
Here let the sun behold
your roundelays,
lovelier far than those
which the stars in heaven
dance to the moon
in the darkness of night.
Ritornello
Leave the mountains, etc.
Then let these lovers' locks
be honoured by you
with fair flowers,
that now they may rejoice,
happy at the ending of torments,
satisfied in their desires.
