2. Wiegenlied  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn fromme [Kindlein]1 schlafen gehn,
[Vor]2 ihrem Bett' zwei Englein stehn,
Sie decken sie zu, decken sie auf,
Decken sie zu, decken sie auf,
Die haben ein liebendes Auge darauf.
Haben ein liebendes Auge [darauf]3.

Wenn aber auf die Kindlein stehn,
Die beiden Engel schlafen gehn,
So reicht nicht mehr der Englein Macht,
Reicht nun nicht mehr der Englein Macht,
Es hält der liebe Gott selbst die Wacht,
Der liebe Gott hält selbst die Wacht.

4. Barcarole  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Voli l'agile barchetta 
voga, voga marinar 
or ch'Elvira mia diletta
a me in braccio sfida il mar.

Brilla in calma la laguna
una vela non appar
palli detta e in ciel la luna
tutto in vita a sospirar.

Voga, voga marinar...

Se ad un bacio amor t'invita
non temer mio bel tesor
tu saprai che sia la vita 
sol nel bacio del amor.

Ma già un zeffiro sereno 
dolce ondeggia il mar...
vieni Elvira a questo sen'
vieni e apprendi a palpitar!

Voga, voga marinar...

5. Der träumende See  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der See [ruht]1 tief im [blauen]2 Traum
Von Wasserblumen zugedeckt;
Ihr Vöglein hoch im [Fichtenbaum]3,
Daß ihr [mir]4 nicht den Schläfer weckt!

Doch leise weht das Schilf und wiegt 
Das Haupt mit leichtem Sinn;
Ein blauer Falter aber fliegt
Darüber einsam hin!

7. Gondoliera  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
    Già la notte s'avvicina:
    Vieni, o Nice, amato bene,
    Della placida marina
    Le fresch' aure a respirar.

    Non sa dir che sia diletto
    Chi non posa in queste arene,
    Or che un lento zeffiretto
    Dolcemente increspa il mar.

8. Der Muschel gleichen meine Lieder

 ... 

  Der Muschel gleichen meine Lieder,
Von meinen Thränen sind sie schwer,
Und leise zieh'n sie auf und nieder
Durch meiner Schmerzen tiefes Meer.

9. Serenade
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
O komm zu mir, wenn leiser Sang
An’s Herz dir zitternd schlägt
Und Stern und Blumen dir nicken zu
Von Sehnsucht süss und bang bewegt.

O folge mir nach ros'gen Höh'n
Wo strahlend erglüht als der Sonne Pracht
Dem Erdendunkel schnell entflohn,
O lächle uns dort der Liebe Lohn.

10. Barcarole
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wellen wiegen, Wogen schaukeln
Lieblich roth im Abendschein.
Ruhig gleitet unser Schiffchen,
Muntre Lieder schallen drein,
Schwebet über Silberfluthen
Leicht und schnell zum Ufer hin.

11. Romance
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Petits oiseaux, le printemps vient de naître,
Assemblez-vous sous ma fenêtre
Chantez le Dieu qui vous a donné l'être.
Oiseaux, chantez l'amour.
 
Si vous aimez, soyes fidèle, toujours fidèle
En voltigeant, hélas! on échappe
Au vrai bonheur chantez, chantez!
Ah! chantez le printemps, chantez l'amour.

12. L'âme d'un ange
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Ils se disent, ma colombe,
Que tu rêves, morte encore,
Sous la pierre d'une tombe :
tu vis, car je t'adore!,
Tu t'éveilles ranimée,
Ô pensive bien-aimée !

 ... 

Ô délices ! je respire
Tes divines tresses blondes !
Ta voix pure, cette lyre,
Suit la vague sur les ondes,
Et, suave, les effleure,
Comme un cygne qui se pleure !
