Non senti tu ne l'aria il profumo che spande Primavera? Non senti tu ne l'anima il suon de nova voce lusinghiera? È l'April! È la stagion d'amore! Deh! vieni, o mia gentil su' prati'n fiore! Il piè trarrai fra mammole, avrai su'l petto rose e cilestrine, e le farfalle candide t'aleggeranno intorno al nero crine. È l'April! È la stagion d'amore! Deh! vieni, o mia gentil su' prati'n fiore!

Verspürst du in den Lüften nicht, wie mit Düften der Lenz dich leise streichelt? Verspürst du in der Seele nicht den Klang der neuen Stimme, wie sie schmeichelt? Im April, im April wächst überall Verlangen! Komm mit ins Grün hinaus, wo Blumen prangen! Dein Fuß in Veilchen bald versinkt, an deinem Kleide werd' ich Rosen sehen; und Schmetterling um Schmetterling wird leuchtend weiß dir dein schwarzes Haar umwehen. Im April, im April wächst überall Verlangen! Komm mit ins Grün hinaus, wo Blumen prangen!
