Horch, der Wind klagt in den Zweigen traurig sacht; süßes Lieb, wir müssen Scheiden: gute Nacht. Ach wie gern in deinen Armen ruhte ich, doch die Trennungsstunde naht, Gott schütze dich. Dunkel ist die Nacht, kein Sternlein spendet Licht; süßes Lieb vertrau auf Gott und weine nicht; führt der liebe Gott mich einst zu dir zurück, bleiben ewig wir vereint in Liebesglück.

Ascolta, fra i rami il vento triste e lento geme; Buona notte mio amore, dobbiamo dirci addio. Ah, come è stato bello fra le tue braccia stare, ma separarci ci tocca, ti protegga il buon Dio. Scura è la notte, nessuna stella dà chiarore; non piangere e in Dio confida, amore mio; a te mi farà ritornare un giorno il buon Dio, e sempre resteremo uniti nella gioia d'amore.
