Wohl schön bewandt
War es vorehe
Mit meinem Leben,
Mit meiner Liebe;
Durch eine Wand,
Ja durch zehn Wände,
Erkannte mich
Des Freundes Sehe;
Doch jetzo, wehe,
Wenn ich dem Kalten
Auch noch so dicht
Vor'm Auge stehe,
Es merkt's sein Auge,
Sein Herze nicht.

Quant'era bello
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Quant'era bello
un tempo ormai passato
con la mia vita,
con il mio bene amato;
pure attraverso un muro,
anche per dieci pareti,
mi riconosceva sicuro
con il suo sguardo amico.
Ora, invece, ahimè,
anche se sto vicino
proprio davanti al freddo
immobile suo sguardo,
di nulla l'occhio si accorge
e più non palpita il cuore.
