1. Tu sei come un fiore
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
    Tu sei come un fiore,
così soave, bella e pura;
io ti guardo, e di malinconia
si commuove il mio cuore.

    E' come se stendessi
le mani sul tuo capo,
pregando Dio che ti conservi
così pura e bella e soave.

2. Wenn ich in deine Augen seh'  [sung text not yet checked]
by Roger Ascham (1864 - 1934), "Wenn ich in deine Augen seh'", op. 10 (Drei Liebeslieder) no. 2, published 1896
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']1,
So schwindet [all' mein Leid]2 und Weh; 
Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund,
So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund.

Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust,
Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich!
[So]3 muß ich weinen bitterlich.

2. Quando ti guardo negli occhi
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Quando ti guardo negli occhi,
svanisce ogni mia pena e dolore;
e quando bacio la tua bocca
si risana tutto il mio essere.

Quando giaccio sul tuo petto,
scende su di me una gioia celeste;
ma quando dici: Ti amo!
piango lacrime amare.
