by Carl (or Karl) Matys (1835 - 1908), "Ein Fichtenbaum steht einsam", op. 27 (Neun Lieder) no. 6
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein [Fichtenbaum]1 steht einsam
Im Norden auf kahler Höh';
Ihn schläfert; mit weißer Decke
Umhüllen ihn Eis und Schnee.

Er träumt von einer Palme,
Die fern im Morgenland,
Einsam und [schweigend]2 trauert
Auf brennender Felsenwand.

1. Sta un abete solitario
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Sta un abete solitario,
Al Nord, su nuda altura.
Dorme, con candido manto
lo avvolgono neve e gelo.

Sogna di una palma lontana
che sola, in terra d'oriente,
sta, silenziosa e triste,
sopra una roccia rovente.

2. Ich will meine Seele tauchen  [sung text not yet checked]
by Carl (or Karl) Matys (1835 - 1908), "Ich will meine Seele tauchen", op. 27 (Neun Lieder) no. 7
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein;
Die Lilie soll [klingend]1 hauchen
Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.

Das Lied soll [schauern]2 und beben
Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund,
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süßer Stund'.

2. Voglio tuffare la mia anima
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Voglio tuffare la mia anima
nel calice del giglio;
il giglio con dolce suono rievocherà
una canzone dell'amore mio.

La canzone tremerà con un brivido
come il bacio della sua bocca,
che lei mi diede una volta
in un'ora dolcissima e stupenda!
