Chorus

Offspring of well-bred sires and dams, pray whither wilt thou be gone from me to the rocks? Hast thou not here a gentle breeze,

and grass to browse, and water from the eddying stream set near the cave in troughs? and are not thy young ones bleating for thee?

Χορός

παῖ γενναίων μὲν πατέρων

γενναίων τ’ ἐκ τοκάδων,

πᾷ δή μοι νίσῃ σκοπέλους;

οὐ τᾷδ’ ὑπήνεμος αὔρα

καὶ ποιηρὰ βοτάνα;

δινᾶέν θ’ ὕδωρ ποταμῶν

ἐν πίστραις κεῖται πέλας ἄν-

τρων; οὔ σοι βλαχαὶ τεκέων;

Wohin, du dort, trefflicher Våter Geschlecht,¹

Von trefflichen Müttern erzeugt,

Laufst du mir fort durch Klippen, wohin?

Dort blåst ein windiger Luftzug,

Dort sproßt kein grunendes Kraut;
45

Auch kein wirbelnd Wasser des Quells

Fließt in Trogen dir, nahe der Grotte,

Wo Lämmerblocken dich rust.
