Ach wer bringt die schönen Tage, Jene Tage der ersten Liebe, Ach wer bringt nur eine Stunde Jener holden Zeit zurück! Einsam nähr' ich meine Wunde Und mit stets erneuter Klage Traur' ich [um's verlorne]1 Glück. Ach, wer bringt die schönen Tage, [Jene holde Zeit zurück!]2

Ah, chi mi riporterà i giorni belli, quelli del primo amore, chi mi riporterà almeno un'ora di quel tempo tanto felice? Nutro la mia ferita in solitudine, e con rinnovato lamento piango la felicità perduta. Ah, chi mi riporterà i giorni belli, quelli di quel tempo felice!

1 Howe: "Wie öde, wie todt die Welt ihm erscheinet" ; Randhartinger: "Wie öde, wie tief die Welt ihm erscheint! / Wie öde, wie tot die Welt ihm erscheint" (note the use of "tief" in the first repetition of this line)2 Randhartinger : "Tränen der ewigen Liebe!" (the second line is used instead of the last)
Non asciugatevi, non asciugatevi Lacrime dell'Amore eterno! Ah, come ad un occhio inaridito Appare squallido e come morto il mondo! Non asciugatevi, non asciugatevi Lacrime di un Amore infelice.

Der du [von dem Himmel]1 bist, [Alles Leid]2 und Schmerzen [stillest]3, Den, der doppelt elend ist, Doppelt mit [Erquickung füllest]4, Ach ich bin des Treibens müde! [Was soll all der Schmerz und Lust?]5 Süßer Friede, Komm, ach komm in meine Brust!

Notes
Line 1: Backer-Grøndahl’s score has a comma after the first word (likely a typo)
Line 8: Backer-Grøndahl's score has a typo in word 5 ("meiner" instead of "meine")
2 Rust: "Kummer, Leid"
3 Schubert: "stillst"
4 Schubert: "Entzückung füllst"
5 Rust: "Bangen Schmerzes, wilder Lust,"; Arnim and J. Marx: "Was soll all der Schmerz, die Lust?"
O Tu che sei del cielo, che acquieti ogni dolore ed ogni pena, chi è due volte desolato colmi di duplice ristoro. Ah, io sono stanco di questo cammino! A che tutto il dolore e la gioia? Dolce pace, vieni, ah vieni nel mio petto.

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "über" becomes "Ueber", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, since the lower-case version is not "ueber", so we use "Über".

1 Flügel, Gaugler, Hasse, Radecke: "Wipfeln" (according to the incipits given in Hofmeister) ; further changes may exist not noted above.2 Greith, Schubert: "Vöglein"
3 Lachner adds
Über allen Wipfeln Ist Ruh', Balde Ruhest du auch.
Sopra ogni vetta È pace, Su ogni albero senti tu appena un respiro; Gli uccelli tacciono nel bosco, aspetta, presto avrai pace anche tu!
