by Anonymous / Unidentified Author
Translation Singable translation by Johann Christoph Grünbaum (1785 - 1870)

Canzone popolare
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ohimè, ohimè! non posso respirare
per 'na spina crudele che ho nel core;
l'hio fatto tante volte medicare,
ed esso se ne sta col suo dolore!
Quante le volte la vado admirare,
sempre cresce la pena e lo tristore!
Ah! la spina crudel, pupille care,
è la memora dello primo amore.

Volkslied
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
O weh, o weh! wie drückt es mich im Herzen!
Ach, von einem Dorne kommen die Schmerzen.
Ach, schon so oft ließ ich das Übel heilen,
doch keine Kur kann diesen Schmerz zerteilen!
Ach, wie so oft eilt' ich hin, um sie zu sehen,
doch die Krankheit will darum nicht vergehen!
Ach, der scharfe Dorn, der mich nicht schonet,
ist die erste Liebe, die im Herzen noch wohnet.
