Original text and translations

English text

1. Singing alone sat my sweet Amarillis.
   Fa la la.
   The Satyrs danced all with joy surprised,
   Was never yet such dainty sport devised.
   Fa la la.

2. Come love again, sang she, to thy beloved.
   Fa la la.
   Alas, what fearst thou? Will I not persever?
   Yes, thou art mine, and I am thine forever.
   Fa la la.
