 (Sung text)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Rede, Mädchen, allzu liebes,
das mir in die Brust, die kühle,
hat geschleudert mit dem Blicke
diese wilden Glutgefühle!

Willst du nicht dein Herz erweichen,
willst du, eine Überfromme,
rasten ohne traute Wonne,
oder willst du, daß ich komme?

Rasten ohne traute Wonne,
nicht so bitter will ich büßen.
Komme nur, du schwarzes Auge.
Komme, wenn die Sterne grüßen.

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Dimmi fanciulla, da me tanto amata,
perché nel mio petto che era senza calore
hai suscitato, con una sola occhiata,
questo furioso e selvaggio ardore!

Non senti farsi tenero il cuore,
vuoi forse, assai timorata,
ogni intima gioia negare,
o ti piace venir corteggiata?

Ogni intima gioia negare,
è un tormento troppo amaro e duro,
vieni, fanciulla dallo sguardo scuro,
le stelle ci stanno a salutare.

Il verde tralcio del luppolo
serpeggia sul terreno,
la bella e giovane fanciulla
ha qualche triste pensiero.

Ascoltami, mio verde tralcio,
perché non ti spingi in alto?
Mia bella contadinella,
cosa ti affligge? Ti ascolto.

Come può sollevarsi il tralcio,
se un palo non lo sostiene?
Come può rallegrarsi la fanciulla
lontano dal suo amato bene?

Un piccolo, grazioso uccelletto
si innalzò in volo
verso il giardino
ricco di tanta frutta.
Se fossi un grazioso,
piccolo uccelletto,
non esiterei affatto, 
e come lui avrei fatto.

Una trappola di vischio
giace là in agguato;
il povero uccelletto
ne resta catturato.
Se fossi un grazioso,
piccolo uccelletto,
non esiterei affatto, 
non come lui avrei fatto.

L'uccellino ora si trova
in una bella manina,
questo gli è capitato,
è stato fortunato.
Se fossi un grazioso,
piccolo uccelletto,
non esiterei affatto, 
proprio come lui avrei fatto.

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,

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.

si affaccia una fanciulla

La bella fanciulla,

dieci catenacci di ferro

Ma dieci catenacci di ferro
per me sono uno scherzo,
riuscirò a romperli tutti
