Es wohnt' am Seegestade
Language: German (Deutsch)
Kühleborn:
Es wohnt' am Seegestade
ein armes Fischerpaar,
der Eltern höchste Freude
ein holdes Mägdlein war.
Am grünen Uferrande
mit ihm die Mutter ruht,
da plötzlich sank das Mägdlein
hinunter in die Flut.
Doch rettend naht ein Engel,
und tragt es an das Land,
wo bald ein edler Herzog
das Mägdlein schlafend fand.
O armes Kind, noch zart und klein,
was wird dein einstig Schicksal sein?
Als Herzogtochter ehrt man
die Jungfrau weit und breit.
Doch ihre Tugend führet
nur Hochmut im Geleit.
Von Glanz und Hoheit träumend,
von Zepter nur und Kron' -
in Wahrheit sich ihr zeiget
alsbald ein Königsthron.
Doch plötzlich reißt der Schleier,
und alles wird bekannt,
daß sie ein Fischermädchen
und nur aus niedrem Stand.

Viveva in riva al mare
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Kühleborn:
Viveva in riva al mare
una coppia di poveri pescatori,
la più grande gioia dei genitori
era una bellissima bambina.
Sulla spiaggia verdeggiante
con lei riposava la madre,
quando all'improvviso cadde
la bambina nei flutti.
Ma per salvare venne un angelo,
e la portò in un'altra spiaggia
dove presto un nobile duca
la trovò addormentata.
O povera bimba, così tenera e piccola,
quale sarà mai il tuo destino?
Come figlia del duca onoravano tutti
lei, diventata una bellissima fanciulla.
Ma la sua virtù si accompagnava
solo a superbia e orgoglio.
Sognando splendore e grandezza,
solo uno scettro e un trono -
in verità le si presentò
ben presto un trono regale.
Ma all'improvviso cadde il velo,
e tutto si venne a sapere,
che era figlia di pescatori,
del più basso stato.
