Ach weh mir unglückhaftem Mann
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ach weh mir unglückhaftem Mann,
daß ich Geld und Gut nicht habe,
sonst spannt' ich gleich vier Schimmel an
und führ' zu dir im Trabe.
Ich putzte sie mit Schellen aus,
daß du mich hört'st von weitem,
ich steckt' ein'n großen Rosenstrauß
an meine linke Seiten.
Und käm' ich an dein kleines Haus,
tät' ich mit der Peitsche schlagen,
da gucktest du zum Fenster 'naus:
Was willst du? Tät'st du fragen.
Was soll der großen Rosenstrauß,
die Schimmel an dem Wagen?
Dich will ich, rief' ich, komm heraus!
Da tät'st du nimmer fragen.
Nun, Vater, Mutter, seht sie an
und küßt sie rasch zum Scheiden,
weil ich nicht lange warten kann,
meine Schimmel wolln's nicht leiden.
Ach weh mir unglückhaftem Mann,
daß ich Geld und Gut nicht hab'.

Ahimè, disgraziato che sono
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Ahimè, disgraziato che sono,
che non ho un soldo, non ho niente,
se no, attaccherei subito quattro destrieri
e li guiderei da te al galoppo.
Li adornerei con sonagli,
e tu mi sentiresti da lontano,
metterei un gran mazzo di rose
alla mia sinistra.
E verrei alla tua casetta,
farei schioccare la frusta,
tu guarderesti fuori dalla finestra:
Che vuoi?, domanderesti,
che cosa è questo gran mazzo di rose,
e i destrieri alla carrozza?
E' te che voglio, griderei,
vieni! E non domanderesti più niente.
Ora papà, mamma, guardatela
e datele un bacio di commiato, ma presto,
ché non posso aspettare tanto,
i miei destrieri sono impazienti...
Ahimè, disgraziato che sono,
che non ho un soldo, non ho niente.
