Original text and translations

Italian text All’apparir di Dori anzi del sole, Vedersi germogliar rose e viole, Et ad onta del verno, Rise à l’herbe, à le piante April eterno, Onde le ninfe insieme e i pastori, Godend’ à schiera, Si dolce primavera, Cantavan sparsi d’odorati fiori: Viva la bella Dori.

English translation At the appearance of Dori at dawn roses and violets were seen budding, and, putting winter to shame, eternal April smiled on the plants and trees. Wherefore the nymphs, together with the shepherds enjoying all together such a sweet springtime, sang, decked with fragrant flowers: “Long live fair Dori!”.

Dutch translation Bij het verschijnen van Dori voor zonsopgang ontloken rozen en viooltjes, en, de winter trotserend, lachte April de planten en bomen weer toe. Daarom genoten de nimfen tesamen met de herders van zo'n zachte lente, en zongen, bedekt met geurende bloemen: "Leve de schone Dori!"
