Vanne, o rosa fortunata
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG GER SPA
Vanne, o rosa fortunata,
a posar di Nice in petto
ed ognun sarà costretto
la tua sorte invidiar.
Oh, se in te potessi anch'io
transformarmi un sol momento;
non avria più bel contento
questo core a sospirar.
Ma tu inchini dispettosa,
bella rosa impallidita,
la tua fronte scolorita
dallo sdegno e dal dolor.
Bella rosa, è destinata
ad entrambi un'ugual sorte;
là trovar dobbiam la morte,
tu d'invidia ed io d'amor.

Gehe, glückliche Rose
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Gehe, glückliche Rose
und ruhe an Nikes Busen
und jeder wird
dein Los beneiden müssen.
Oh, wenn auch ich mich
für einen Augenblick in dich verwandeln könnte;
keine größere Zufriedenheit hat
mein Herz zu ersehnen.
Aber du neigst, verachtet,
schöne blasse Rose,
dein erbleichtes Haupt
vor Hohn und Schmerz.
Schöne Rose, uns beiden
ist ein gleiches Los bestimmt;
dort müssten wir den Tod finden,
du angesichts des Neides, ich aus Liebe.
