Shepherd1:
Come, take my hand and lead me, sweets
Like I lead the trusting sheep, with love
Your sheep and mine sheep will be witness
To our union, amidst nature
Do you see these rolling mountains,
The verdant greens and the soothing flowers?
Do you hear their nectar sweet voices
Creating a duet with my heartbeats?
Say yes, make me a happy shepherd!
Shepherd2:
I wish things were different, I swear
That I could say yes like sheep without care
Alas! I cannot say yes; I'm neither
Woman nor sheep; I am a man
And I am not brave...more is the pity!!
