1. Poggia la tua guancia alla mia guancia
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Poggia la tua guancia alla mia guancia
Scorreranno insieme le lacrime;
il tuo cuore stringi forte al mio cuore,
arderanno insieme le fiamme!
 
E quando nella grande fiamma si sarà versato
tutto il  fiume del nostro pianto,
quando nel mio abbraccio ti terrò stretta forte --
Nella brama d'amore troverò la morte!

by H. Willemsen , "Im Rhein, im heiligen Strome", op. 3 (Zwei Lieder) no. 2
Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Im]1 Rhein, [im]1 [schönen]2 Strome,
Da spiegelt sich in den [Well'n]3
Mit seinem großen Dome
Das [große, heil'ge]4 Köln.

Im Dom da steht ein Bildnis,
Auf [goldnem Leder]5 gemalt;
In meines Lebens Wildnis
Hat's freundlich [hineingestrahlt]6.

Es schweben Blumen und [Eng'lein]7
Um unsre liebe Frau;
Die Augen, die Lippen, die Wänglein,
Die gleichen der Liebsten genau.

2. Nel Reno, nel sacro fiume
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Nel Reno, nel sacro fiume,
si specchia nelle onde
col suo imponente duomo
la grande, sacra Colonia.

Nel duomo c'è un'immagine
dipinta su cuoi dorato;
nei momenti più aspri della mia vita
mi risplende amica.

Si librano fiori ed angeli
intorno alla Nostra Signora;
i suoi occhi, le labbra, le sue guance
somigliano proprio al mio amore.
