Original text and translations

It is obvious that there must be some additional verses, but they still have to be found.

Italian text Sola trovai la pastorella mia long’un bel rio cogliend’erbett’e fiori, e i nostri dolc’amori lieta cantando a suo diporto gia.

German translation Alleine fand ich meine Schäferin Blumen und Kräuter pflückend an einem schönen Bach, und unsere süße Liebe fröhlich besingend erging sie sich zu ihrem Vergnügen. Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation On her own I found my shepherdess culling herbs and flowers by a lovely brook, and singing our sweet love she walked around for her own joy. Translation by Gerhard Weydt
