by Ignaz J. Waghalter (1882 - 1949), "Lieb Liebchen, leg's Händchen aufs Herze ", op. 7 (Lieder) no. 3
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lieb' Liebchen, leg's Händchen [aufs]1 Herze mein; -
Ach, hörst du, wie's [pochet]2 im Kämmerlein?
Da hauset ein Zimmermann schlimm und arg,
Der zimmert mir einen Totensarg.

[Es]3 hämmert und klopfet bei Tag und bei Nacht;
[Es]3 hat mich schon längst um den Schlaf gebracht.
Ach! sputet Euch, Meister Zimmermann,
Damit ich [balde]4 schlafen kann.

1. Amore mio, posa la mano sul mio cuore
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Amore mio, posa la mano sul mio cuore; -
Ah, senti come batte nella cameretta?
Qui abita un carpentiere brutto e malvagio,
che costruisce per me una cassa da morto.

Martella e picchia giorno e notte;
spesso mi ha svegliato dal sonno.
Ah! Fate presto, mastro carpentiere,
ché io possa finalmente dormire.
