Du bist die Abendwolke, Die am Himmel meiner Träume hinzieht. Ich schmücke dich und kleide dich Immer mit den Wünschen meiner Seele; Du bist mein Eigen, mein Eigen, Du, die in meinen endlosen Träumen wohnt. Deine Füße sind rosigrot Von der Glut meines sehnsüchtigen Herzens, Du, die meine Abendlieder erntet, Deine Lippen sind bittersüß Vom Geschmack des Weins aus meinen Leiden. Du bist mein Eigen, mein Eigen, Du, die in meinen einsamen Träumen wohnt, Mit dem Schatten meiner Leidenschaft Hab' ich deine Augen geschwärzt, Gewohnter Gast in meines Blickes Tiefe. Ich hab' dich gefangen und dich eingesponnen, Geliebte, in das Netz meiner Musik. Du bist mein Eigen, mein Eigen, Du, die in meinen unsterblichen Träumen wohnt.

Tu sei la nuvola della sera, che trascorre nel cielo dei miei sogni. Io ti adorno, e sempre ti vesto Con tutti i desideri dell'anima mia. Tu sei tutta mia, tu che dimori nei miei sogni infiniti. I tuoi piedi sono d'un rosso pallido Per l'ardore del mio cuore anelante. Tu, che mieti a sera i miei canti. Le tue labbra sanno di amaro e di dolce per il gusto del vino dei miei dolori. Tu sei mia, tutta mia, tu che dimori nei miei sogni solitari. Con l'ombra della mia passione Ho reso più scuri i tuoi occhi, ospite abituale nella profondità del mio sguardo. Ti ho preso, amore, e tutta ti ho avvolta Nella rete della mia musica. Tu sei mia, tutta mia, tu che dimori nei miei sogni immortali.
