1. Sento risuonare la canzone
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Sento risuonare la canzone
che un giorno lei cantava,
mi sento lacerare il petto
per il peso selvaggio del dolore.

Mi porta una cupa nostalgia
verso le alture boscose,
là si scioglie in pianto
il mio troppo grande dolore.

2. Aus meinen Tränen sprießen  [sung text not yet checked]
by Gustav Adolf Kölla (1822 - 1905), "Aus meinen Tränen sprießen", op. 1 (Leid und Freud' : Vier Gesänge ) no. 3, published 1856
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Aus meinen Tränen sprießen
Viel blühende Blumen hervor,
Und meine Seufzer werden
Ein Nachtigallenchor.

Und wenn du mich lieb hast, Kindchen,
Schenk' ich dir die Blumen all',
Und vor deinem Fenster soll klingen
Das Lied der Nachtigall.

2. 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.
