Piangono al pianger mio

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: GER

Piangono al pianger mio le fere, e i sassi
A miei caldi sospir traggon sospiri.
L'aer' d'intorno nubiloso fassi,
Mosso anch' egli à pietà de miei martiri.
Ovunque io volgo, ovunque giro i passi
Par che di me si pianga, e si sospiri;
Par che dica ciascun, mosso al mio duolo,
Che fai tu qui, meschin, doglioso e solo?

Weine ich, so weinen auch die wilden Tiere

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)

Weine ich, so weinen auch die wilden Tiere,
und meine heißen Seufzer lassen selbst die Steine seufzen;
die Luft um mich wird nebelfeucht,
so sehr ist sie berührt von meinem Leiden.
Wohin ich geh’, wohin mich meine Schritten lenken,
erfühl ich, dass ein Jedes mit mir weint und seufzt;
Alles meine ich voll Mitleid sagen zu hören:
„Was machst du hier, du armer Kerl, so traurig und so ganz allein?“
