Dimmi, ben mio, che m'ami, Dimmi che mia tu sei. E non invidio ai Dei La lor' divinità! Con un tuo sguardo solo, Cara, con un sorriso Tu m'apri il paradiso Di mia felicità!
Vier Arietten und ein Duett , opus 82
by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827)

1. Hoffnung
Nimmer dem liebenden Herzen Zürnen auf ewig die Götter; Und schnell in ihrer Hand Wird Leid in Glück gewandt. Kühn nur zum Ziele streben, Treu nur der Hoffnung leben! Und aus den Stürmen Bricht der Gewährung süßes Licht.
2. T'intendo, sì
T'intendo, sì, mio cor, Con tanto palpitar! So che ti vuoi lagnar, Che amante sei. Ah! taci il tuo dolor, Ah! soffri il tuo martir Tacilo, tacilo e non tradir L'affetti miei, l'affetti miei!

2. Liebesklage
Den stummen Felsen nur Klag' ich, was mir das Herz Bewegt mit tiefem Schmerz, Das bange Sehnen, Die Quelle meiner Tränen. Ach! sie bleibt stumm und fern, Ach! sie hört nicht meine Leiden! Nur umsonst ström' ich meiner Wehmuth bitt're Klagen aus vollem Herzen aus!

3. L'amante impaziente
Che fa, che fa il mio bene? Perchè, perché non viene? Vedermi vuole languir Così, così, così! Oh come è lento nel corso il sole! Ogni momento mi sembra un dì, Che fa, che fa il mio bene? Perchè, perché non viene? Vedermi vuole languir Così, così, così!

3. Stille frage
Darf nimmer ich dir nahen? Nie deinen Gruß empfahen? Und lesen mein Geschick In deinem Himmelsblick? Ob dem Verweg'nen du zürnest? ob zärtlich, Zärtlich dein Auge sich niedersenkt? Götter, o wendet den harten Sinn! Gönnt mir das längst ersehnte Glück! Sprich, o darf ich nimmer dir nahen? Nie deinen Gruß empfahen? Und lesen mein Geschick In deinem Himmelsblick? Ach! ob, ob, dem Verweg'nen du zürnest, Dein Aug', dein Aug' sich zärtlich zu mir neigt! Ach! ob, ob du dem Verwegenen du zürnest, Dein Aug', dein Aug' sich freundlich, freundlich sich neigt! Ach ob, ach ob, ob dein Auge sich zärtlich neigt, Zärtlich sich neigt!

4. Liebes‑Ungeduld
So muß ich ihm entsagen, Dem lang' genährten Hoffen, Und meiner Sehnsucht Klagen Verhallen still im Schmerz! Kehret ihr nimmer, zu schnell, ach! entschwunden, Himmlische Stunden, mir nie zurück, Wie fühlt' ich mich so selig! Wie scherzte leicht und fröhlich Um mich der Augenblick! Der Augenblick!

5. Odi l'aura
Venere: Odi l'aura che dolce sospira; Mentre fugge scutendo le fronde, Se l'intendi, ti parla d'amor. Pallade: Senti l'onda che rauca s'aggira; Mentre geme radendo le sponde, Se l'intendi, si lagna d'amor. (a due): Quell'affetto chi sente nel petto, Sa per prova se nuoce, se giova, Se diletto produce o dolor!

5. Schnell, verblühen
Schnell, verblühen im Wechsel der Stunden Blumen, die uns die Freude gewunden, und es schlüpfet, kaum gefunden, aus den Händen uns das Glück! Doch auch das Dunkel, vom Schicksal gegeben, muß im Wechsel der Stunden verschweben. Nimmer rastend eilt das Leben; was dahin, kehrt nie zurück! O so laßt an dem goldenen Saume fest uns fassen die glückliche Nähe, und uns freuen, so lang sie verweilt, o so lange sie verweilt, ja so lange sie verweilt!
