1. Coi tuoi occhi azzurri
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Coi tuoi occhi azzurri
mi guardi con tanto amore,
che il mio pensiero si perde in un sogno,
e non poso parlare.

Ai tuoi occhi azzurri
io penso ogni momento:
un mare di pensieri azzurri
si versa sul mio cuore.

2. Mir träumte von einem Königskind  [sung text not yet checked]
by Gerrit Jan van Eijken (1832 - 1879), "Mir träumte von einem Königskind", op. 7 (Drei Gedichte von Heine) no. 2 [ soprano or tenor and piano ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mir [träumte]1 von einem Königskind,
Mit nassen, blassen Wangen;
Wir sassen unter der grünen Lind'
Und hielten uns liebeumfangen.

"Ich will nicht deines Vaters Thron,
Ich will nicht sein Scepter [von]2 Golde,
Ich will nicht seine demantene Kron',
Ich will dich selber, du Holde!"

Das kann nicht sein, sprach sie zu mir,
ich liege ja im Grabe,
und nur des Nachts komm' ich zu dir,
weil ich so lieb dich habe.

2. Ho sognato una figlia di re
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ho sognato una figlia di re,
pallido il viso e bagnato dal pianto;
sedevamo sotto un tiglio verde,
avvinti in un abbraccio.

"Il trono di tuo padre non lo voglio,
e neppure il suo scettro d'oro,
non voglio la corona di gemme,
sei solamente tu quella che voglio!"

Questo è impossibile, lei allora rispose,
io giaccio ormai dentro una tomba,
solo la notte posso venirti a trovare,
perché il mio amore non può mai cessare.

3. Wenn ich in deine Augen seh'  [sung text not yet checked]
by Gerrit Jan van Eijken (1832 - 1879), "Wenn ich in deine Augen seh'", op. 7 (Drei Gedichte von Heine) no. 3 [ soprano or tenor and piano ]
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.

3. 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.
