Language: Italian (Italiano)
Quand'io ti guardo con occhi ebbri, e stanco
tu alfin sorridi, ma il tuo cor si frange;
quando ridendo tu mi stringi a 'l fianco,
ma in fondo a te grave un'angoscia piange;
un desiderio acuto di morire
m'assal con voluttà tranquilla e mesta:
vorrei porre la man su la tua testa
e te sempre adorare e benedire;
vorrei volare tra 'l baglior che scende
in pioggia d'oro su 'l deserto lito,
e per le nubi che 'l tramonto accende
dileguare con te ne l'infinito.

Wenn ich dich trunkenen Auges beobachte,...
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Wenn ich dich trunkenen Auges beobachte, und lau
du endlich lächelst, ach du wandelbares Herz;
wann kehrst du zurück an meine Seite,
denn deinetwegen leide ich tiefen Kummer.
Der heiße Wunsch zu sterben
Überkommt mich in ruhigem, innigem Drang:
Will dir die Hand auf den Kopf legen
Und dich auf immer verehren und segnen.
Will fliegen mit dem niederzuckenden Blitz
Im goldenen Regen über die Steinwüste,
und mit den Wolken, die der Wind unermüdlich
in alle Ewigkeit vor sich her treibt.
