Gondolier‑Sång
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Amor hviska i mitt öra,
hvar gondolen stanna skall
Tyst, att ingen det kan höra,
tyst som silverdaggens fall.
Dock, nu viker jag till venster:
se, Lauretta i sitt fenster,
skön, men ack, så hård och kall!

Vinkar du, så vill jag komma
nära till altanens rand
kasta till dig denna blomma,
bruten uppå Brentas strand.
När i natt jag återvänder,
låt mig blott på dina händer
svalka mina läppars brand!
