Wenn durch die Piazetta

Wenn durch die Piazetta
Die Abendluft weht,
[Dann]1 weißt du, Ninetta,
Wer wartend [hier]2 steht.
Du weißt, wer trotz Schleier
Und Maske dich kennt,
[Wie Amor die Venus
Am Nachtfirmament.]3

Ein Schifferkleid trag' ich
Zur selbigen Zeit,
Und zitternd dir sag' ich:
„Das Boot [liegt]4 bereit!
[O, komm’! jetzt, wo Lune’n]5
Noch Wolken umziehn,
Laß durch die Lagunen,
[Mein Leben,]6 uns fliehn!“

Quan a través de la piazetta

Quan a través de la piazetta
Bufa l'aire del vespre,
Llavors tu saps, Ninetta
Qui espera aquí
Tu saps, qui malgrat el teu vel
I mascara, et coneix,
Com Amor coneix Venus
En el Firmament.

Porto un vestit de gondoler
A cada hora
I tremolant et dic:
La nostra barca està preparada!
Oh vine ara, mentre la lluna
Es coberta de núvols
Deixa que a través de les llacunes,
Estimada, llisquem!
