1. Berg' und Burgen schaun herunter  [sung text not yet checked]
by Ferdinand Möhring (1816 - 1887), "Berg' und Burgen schaun herunter", op. 16 (Lieder aus den Rheinlanden ), Heft 2 no. 1
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Berg' und Burgen schaun herunter
in den spiegelhellen Rhein,
und mein Schiffchen segelt munter,
rings umglänzt von Sonnenschein.

Ruhig seh' ich zu dem Spiele
goldner Wellen, kraus bewegt;
still erwachen die Gefühle,
die ich tief im Busen hegt'.

Freundlich grüssend und verheißend
lockt hinab des Stromes Pracht;
doch ich kenn' ihn, oben gleißend,
birgt sein Innres Tod und Nacht.

Oben Lust, im Busen Tücken,
Strom, du bist der Liebsten Bild!
Die kann auch so freundlich nicken,
lächelt auch so fromm und mild.

1.
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Montagne e castelli guardano quaggiù
nel Reno chiaro come uno specchio,
e la mia barchetta naviga dolcemente,
intorno resa splendida dal sole.

Tranquillo guardo il gioco
delle onde dorate, che si muovono increspandosi;
in silenzio si destano i sentimenti
che serbavo nel profondo del cuore.

Con amico saluto e promesse
mi guarda seducente lo splendore dell'acqua;
ma io so che al di sopra riluce
e dentro nasconde morte e notte.

All'apparenza gioia, in petto inganno,
fiume, tu sei il ritratto della mia amata!
Anche lei mi guarda amica,
sorride, e sembra così buona e dolce.

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Im]1 Rhein, [im]1 [schönen]2 Strome,
Da spiegelt sich in den [Well'n]3
Mit seinem großen Dome
Das [große, heil'ge]4 Köln.

Im Dom da steht ein Bildnis,
Auf [goldnem Leder]5 gemalt;
In meines Lebens Wildnis
Hat's freundlich [hineingestrahlt]6.

Es schweben Blumen und [Eng'lein]7
Um unsre liebe Frau;
Die Augen, die Lippen, die Wänglein,
Die gleichen der Liebsten genau.

2. Nel Reno, nel sacro fiume
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Nel Reno, nel sacro fiume,
si specchia nelle onde
col suo imponente duomo
la grande, sacra Colonia.

Nel duomo c'è un'immagine
dipinta su cuoi dorato;
nei momenti più aspri della mia vita
mi risplende amica.

Si librano fiori ed angeli
intorno alla Nostra Signora;
i suoi occhi, le labbra, le sue guance
somigliano proprio al mio amore.
