Qui... te solo, te solo. - Oh, lascia, lascia Ch'io sfoghi sul tuo cor tutti i singulti Da tant'anni nel petto accumulati, Tutti gli affanni e i desideri occulti... Ho bisogno di pianto. Sul tuo sen palpitante, oh, lascia, lascia Ch'io riposi la testa affaticata, Come timido augello sotto l'ala, Come rosa divelta e reclinata... Ho bisogno di pace. Sul tuo giovine fronte, oh, lascia, lascia Ch'io prema il labbro acceso e trepidante, Ch'io ti susurri l'unica parola Che inebbrii nel delirio d'un istante.. Ho bisogno d'amore.

Hier ... ganz allein mit dir. -- O laß mich, laß mich Ausschluchzen in dein Herz die Bitterkeit, Die sich seit Jahren in der Brust gehäust, All' die geheimen Wünsche, alles Leid... Ich sehne mich nach Thränen. An deiner warmen Brust, o laß mich, laß mich, Mein müdes Haupt zur Ruhe betten weich; Wie unterm Flügel sich der Vogel birgt, Die welke Rose niederhängt am Zweig! ... Ich sehne mich nach Frieden. Ans deine junge Stirn, o laß mich, laß mich Die Lippe drücken, die erbebt und glüht, Laß flüstern dir ins Ohr das einz'ge Wort, Das wie ein Rausch mir durch die Seele zieht... Ich sehne mich nach Liebe.
