from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Max Steinitzer (1864 - 1936)

Quando ti vidi a quel canto apparire
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Quando ti vidi a quel canto apparire
Ti assomigliai alla spera del sole.
Abbassai gli occhi e non seppi che dire:
Allora incominciava il nostro amore.
Ora che il nostro amor è cominciato
Vogliami un po' di ben giovin garbato.

Als ich dich sah an der Ecke erscheinen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Als ich dich sah an der Ecke erscheinen,
Glichst du den Strahlen der goldenen Sonne.
Senkt ich die Augen und konnte nichts sagen
Und damit hat begonnen unsere Liebe. 
Nun, da wir doch einmal damit begonnen, 
Hab' mich ein wenig lieb, reizender Knabe.
