Original text and translations

Italian text Quando lieta vezzosa, Al mormorio dell’onde Dori stanca riposa, E tra bei gigli le sue rose asconde, Ride’l bel prato adorno, E l’aria d’ogni’ intorno S’empie di canti e suoni, Di muse e ninfe, satiri e pastori, Ch’ebri di gaudio e di stupor aspersi, Cantaro in dolci versi, Alternando à più chori, Viva la bella Dori.

English translation When graceful and happy at the murmur of the waves, tired Dori reposes and among fair lilies hides her own roses, the spangled meadow laughs and the air all around is filled with songs and sounds, with muses and nymphs, satyrs and shepherds who, intoxicated with joy and fraught with amazement, sing sweet verses in several alternate choirs: “Long live fair Dori!”.

Dutch translation Wanneer de vermoeide Dori rust, tevreden en gelukkig, bij het gekabbel van de bron, waar rozen tussen de mooie lelies groeien, lacht de bloeiende weide en de lucht er om heen is vervuld van gezang en geluiden, met muzen en nimfen, saters en herders, die, dronken van vreugde en opwinding, lieflijke verzen zingen in allerlei wisselende koren: "Leve de schone Dori!"
