Der Himmel hat keine Sterne so klar

Der Himmel hat keine Sterne so klar,
Das Meer so keine Korallen,
Wie mir ein Menschenaugenpaar
Und Menschenlippen gefallen.

Er wandert unter den Sternen dahin,
Er wandert über die Meere,
Er geht mir immer [durch]1 den Sinn,
Dem ich zu eigen gehöre.

Il cielo non ha stelle così splendenti

Il cielo non ha stelle così splendenti,
il mare non ha coralli tali
da uguagliare un paio di occhi
o labbra umane che mi piacciano.

Procede sotto le stelle,
vagabonda sui mari,
passa sempre nella mia mente
colui al quale io appartengo.
