1. Nel meraviglioso mese di maggio
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Nel meraviglioso mese di maggio,
quando tutti i boccioli si schiudevano,
allora nel mio cuore
l'amore è entrato.

Nel meraviglioso mese di maggio,
quando tutti gli uccelli cantavano,
allora ho confessato a lei
il mio struggimento e il mio desiderio.

Mein übergroßes Weh'.

2. 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.

Den ersten besten Mann,
Der ihr in den Weg gelaufen;
Der Jüngling ist übel dran.

Es ist eine alte Geschichte,
Doch bleibt sie immer neu;
Und wem sie [just]3 passieret,
Dem bricht das Herz entzwei.

3. Un giovanotto ama una fanciulla
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Un giovanotto ama una fanciulla,
questa ha scelto un altro,
ma quest'altro ama un'altra,
e si è fidanzato con lei.

La fanciulla prende per dispetto
il primo brav'uomo
che incontra per la strada;
il giovanotto se ne accora.

E' una storia vecchia,
ma resta sempre nuova;
e a chi vive questa storia,
si spezza il cuore in due.
