1. Die Beiden  [sung text not yet checked]
by Paul Weiss (1898 - 1967 ), "Die Beiden", op. 19 (Sechs Lieder) no. 4, published 1929 [ voice and piano ], Wien, Leipzig : Leo Tublin
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sie trug den Becher in der Hand
-- Ihr Kinn und Mund glich seinem Rand --
So leicht und sicher war ihr Gang,
Kein Tropfen aus dem Becher sprang.

So leicht und fest war seine Hand:
Er ritt auf einem jungen Pferde
Und mit nachlässiger Gebärde
Erzwang er, daß es zitternd stand.

Jedoch wenn er aus ihrer Hand 
Den leichten Becher nehmen sollte,
So war es beiden [allzu]1 schwer:
Denn beide bebten sie so sehr,
Daß keine Hand die andre fand,
Und dunkler Wein am Boden rollte.

1. I due
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Lei recava nelle mani la coppa
Tenendone l' orlo presso il mento e la bocca
ed avanzava così sicura e leggera,
che dalla coppa non una goccia cadeva.
 
Non meno salda e leggera era la mano di lui:
Che montava un giovane cavallo,
e con un gesto che sembrava noncurante
lo forzava ad una immobilità tremante.
 
E tuttavia quando egli dalla mano di lei
dovette prendere il calice leggero,
sembrò diventare, per entrambi, pesante:
perché tutti e due tremavano al punto
che le mani non si incontrarono
e fu versato al suolo vino scuro.
