Текст и перевод песни Giulio Caccini feat. Stephan Van Dyck, Christina Pluhar, Paulina Van Laarhoven, Eero Palviainen, Francisco Gato & Vincent Libert - Al fonte, al prato

Al fonte, al prato

Al fonte, al prato,
Al bosco, a l'ombra,
Al fresco fiato
Ch'il caldo sgombra,
Pastor correte;
Ciascun ch'a sete,
Ciascun ch'è stanco
Ripos' il fianco.
Fugga la noia,
Fugga il dolore,
Sol riso e gioia,
Sol caro amore.
Nosco soggiorni
Ne' lieti giorni.
Nè s'odan mai
Querele o lai.
Ma dolce canto
Di vaghi uccelli
Pe 'l verde manto
Degli arbuscelli
Risuoni sempre
Con nuovi tempre,
Mentre ch'a l'onde
Ecco risponde.
E mentre alletta
Quanto più puote
La giovinetta
Con rozze note
Il sonno dolce,
Ch'il caldo molce,
E noi pian piano
Con lei cantiano.

At the Fountain, in the Meadow

At the fountain, in the meadow,
In the woods, in the shade,
In the cool breeze
That drives away the heat,
Shepherdess, run to me;
Each one who is thirsty,
Each one who is weary,
Rest your side.
Flee from boredom,
Flee from pain,
Only laughter and joy,
Only sweet love.
Let it dwell with us
In happy days.
And never hear
Complaints or cries.
But sweet melodies
Of lovely birds
Through the green mantle
Of the plants,
May they always echo
With new rhythms,
While at the waves
They respond.
And while it allures
As much as it can
The young maiden
With rustic songs,
Sweet sleep,
That mellows the heat,
And we softly
Sing with her.
