Mercè, grido piangendo

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: GER

"Mercè!" grido piangendo
Ma chi m'ascolta? Ahi lasso! io vengo meno.
Morrò dunque tacendo. 
Deh, per pietade, almeno,
o del mio cor tesoro, 
potessi dirti, pria ch'io mora: "Io moro".

Weinend ruf ich um Erbarmen

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)

Weinend ruf ich um Erbarmen,
doch wer erhört mich?  Weh mir, ich bin schwach, vergehe.
Schweigend werd’ ich daher sterben.
Gott, zumindest aus Erbarmen,
süßer Herzensschatz,
sollt' ich dir, ehe ich sterbe, sagen dies: „Ich sterbe!“
