Hör es klagt die Flöte wieder

[Hör]1 es klagt die Flöte wieder
Und die kühlen [Brunnen]2 rauschen,
Golden wehn die Töne nieder,
Stille, [stille]3, laß uns lauschen!

Holdes Bitten, mild Verlangen,
[Wie es süß zum Herzen spricht]4!
Durch die Nacht die mich umfangen,
Blickt zu mir der Töne Licht.

Serenata

Tu pur odi il suon del flauto,
Le fontane fresche sgorgare
L'onda densa d'armonia?
Zitto, zitto, vo' ascoltare!

Voci pien d'affetto, dolce preghiera,
Cari al core mio v'adduce
Questa notte che m'intorna,
Che mi dà dei suon la luce.
