1. Dalla mie lacrime nascono
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Dalla mie lacrime nascono
tanti fiori che sbocciano,
e i miei sospiri diventano
un coro di usignoli.

E se tu mi hai caro, bimba,
regalo a te tutti i miei fiori
e alla tua finestra risuonerà
il canto degli usignoli.

2. Nel meraviglioso mese di maggio
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Nel meraviglioso mese di maggio,
quando tutti i boccioli si schiudevano,
allora nel mio cuore
l'amore è entrato.

Nel meraviglioso mese di maggio,
quando tutti gli uccelli cantavano,
allora ho confessato a lei
il mio struggimento e il mio desiderio.

3. Und wüßten's die Blumen, die kleinen  [sung text not yet checked]
by Gary Noland , "Und wüßten's die Blumen, die kleinen", op. 19 (Four Heine Lieder) no. 3, published 1990 [ soprano and piano ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und wüßten's die Blumen, die kleinen,
Wie tief verwundet mein Herz,
Sie würden mit mir weinen,
Zu heilen meinen Schmerz.

Und wüßten's die Nachtigallen,
Wie ich so traurig und krank,
Sie ließen fröhlich erschallen
Erquickenden Gesang.

Und wüßten sie mein Wehe,
Die [goldnen]1 Sternelein,
Sie kämen aus ihrer Höhe,
Und sprächen Trost mir ein.

[Die]2 alle können's nicht wissen,
Nur [eine]3 kennt meinen Schmerz;
[Sie]4 hat ja selbst zerrissen,
Zerrissen mir das Herz.

3. Se sapessero i fiorellini
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Se sapessero i fiorellini, i piccoli,
come profondo è ferito il mio cuore,
piangerebbero con me,
per risanare il mio dolore.

Se sapessero gli usgnoli,
quanto sono triste e malato,
farebbero risuonare il canto
lieto e consolatore.

Se sapessero il mio tormento 
le stelline d'oro,
verrebbero giù dal loro cielo
e mi direbbero parole di conforto.

Tutti loro non possono saperlo,
Una sola conosce il mio dolore;
lei che mi ha spezzato,
mi ha spezzato il cuore.
