 (Sung text)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Himmel strahlt so helle und klar,
Heller strahlt mir dein Augenpaar.
Du meine Rose, mir ins Auge blick,
Daß ich dich segne in meinem Glück.

Vögleins Lied so lieblich erklingt,
Süß'res Lied mir mein Liebchen singt.
Du meine Rose, mir ins Auge blick,
Daß ich dich segne in meinem Glück.

Sonne küßt das ganze Erdenrund,
Heißer küßt mich dein Rosenmund.
Du meine Rose, mir ins Auge blick,
Daß ich dich segne in meinem Glück.

1. Risplende il cielo luminoso e chiaro
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Risplende il cielo luminoso e chiaro,
più luminosi risplendono i tuoi occhi.
Tu, rosa mia, guardami negli occhi,
che io nella mia gioia ti possa benedire.
 
Di un uccellino il canto suona tanto amabile,
ma un canto assai più dolce è quello del mio amore.
Tu, rosa mia, guardami negli occhi,
che io nella mia gioia ti possa benedire.
 
Il sole bacia la terra tutt'intorno,
ma di più mi riscalda il bacio delle tue labbra.
Tu, rosa mia, guardami negli occhi
Che io nella mia gioia ti possa benedire.

 (Sung text)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Rote Rosenknospen
künden schon des Lenzes Triebe.
Rosenrote Wangen
Deuten Mädchens erste Liebe.
Kleiner roter Vogel,
Flieg herab zur roten Rose!
Bursche geht zum ros'gen
Mädchen kosen.

2. Rossi boccioli di rosa
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Rossi boccioli di rosa,
annunziano già la potenza della primavera.
Le guance color di rosa
annunciano il primo amore delle fanciulle.
Piccolo uccello rosso,
vola verso la rosa rossa!
Il giovane va e accarezza
la fanciulla che arrossisce.

3. Brennessel steht am Wegesrand
 (Sung text)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Brennessel steht am Wegesrand,
Neider und Feinde hab' ich in Stadt und Land.
Neidet, haßt, verleumdet, 
doch das bringt mir keine Not,
Wenn mir nur mein süßes Liebchen 
treu bleibt bis zum Tod.

3. Sta l'ortica al bordo della strada
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Sta l'ortica al bordo della strada, 
Invidiosi e nemici mi assediano in città e in campagna.
Ma invidia, odio, calunnie, 
non mi danno pena,
se la mia amata mi resta fedele 
fino alla morte.

 (Sung text)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Liebe Schwalbe, kleine Schwalbe,
Trage fort mein kleines Briefchen!
Flieg zur Höhe, fliege schnell aus,
Flieg hinein in Liebchens Haus!

Fragt man dich, woher du kommest,
Wessen Bote du geworden,
Sag, du kommst vom treusten Herzen,
Das vergeht in Trennnungsschmerzen.

4. Rondine cara, piccola rondine
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Rondine cara, piccola rondine,
porta lontano al mia piccola lettera!
In alto vola, ed anche veloce,
fino alla casa della mia amata!
 
E se qualcuno ti chiede da dove vieni,
e di chi sei messaggera,
rispondi che vieni da un cuore fedele,
che sta soffrendo per la separazione.
