Marietta Glück, das mir verblieb, rück zu mir, mein treues Lieb. Abend sinkt im Haag bist mir Licht und Tag. Bange pochet Herz an Herz Hoffnung schwingt sich himmelwärts. Paul Wie wahr, ein traurig Lied. Marietta Das Lied vom treuen Lieb, das sterben muss. Paul Ich kenne das Lied. Ich hört es oft in jungen, in schöneren Tagen. Es hat noch eine Strophe -- weiß ich sie noch? Naht auch Sorge trüb, rück zu mir, mein treues Lieb. Neig dein blaß Gesicht Sterben trennt uns nicht. Mußt du einmal von mir gehn, glaub, es gibt ein Auferstehn.

Marietta Felicità che mi è rimasta in cuore, ritorna ancora, mio fedele amore. Quando cala la sera tutt’intorno tu resti la mia luce ed il mio giorno. I nostri cuori pulsano con ansia, e verso il cielo vola la speranza. Paul Una canzone assai triste davvero Marietta Condannato a morire è un amore sincero. Paul Conosco questa canzone, la ho ascoltata spesso da giovane in tempi più felici C’è ancora una strofa riuscirò a ricordarla? Se l’ansia ancora mi tormenta il cuore ritorna ancora, mio fedele amore. Se reclina il tuo volto in mortale pallore nemmeno la morte ci potrà separare. e se verrà il momento della separazione pensa che ci sarà una resurrezione.
