Original text and translations

Italian text Al mormorar de liquidi cristalli Che lenti si movean tra verdi valli Vaghe Ninf’ e Pastori Dicean con cant’ allegri alt’ e sonori Che facean ribombar l’area d’intorno: Felic’ e lieto giorno Che posse Feb’ al mondo a si bel’ alm’ il pondo scesa qua giù da li celesti cori: Viva la bella Dori!

English translation At the murmur of crystal waters, which slowly move through verdant valleys, desirous nymphs and shepherds spoke with happy, loud, and resonant songs that made the air echo round: “It is a happy and delightful day in which Phoebus gave birth to so fair a soul, that has come down on earth from the choirs above; Long live fair Dori!”.

Dutch translation Bij het ruisen van kristheldere waters, die traag door groene dalen vloeien, zeiden, met blije, luid weerklinkende stemmen, die rondgalmden door de lucht: "Het is een gelukkige mooie dag waarop Phoebus vanuit de hemel zo'n mooie ziel op de wereld zette: Leve de schone Dori!"
