1. Wo ich bin  [sung text not yet checked]
by Leander Schlegel (1844 - 1913), "Wo ich bin", op. 22 (Vier Lieder) no. 1
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wo ich bin, mich rings umdunkelt
Finsterniß so dumpf und dicht,
Seit mir nicht mehr leuchtend funkelt,
Liebste, deiner Augen Licht.

[Mir]1 erloschen ist der süßen
Liebessterne goldne Pracht,
Abgrund gähnt zu meinen Füßen.
Nimm mich auf, uralte Nacht.

1 Strauss: "Wie"

by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
1. Là dove sono il buio mi circonda
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Là dove sono il buio mi circonda,
l'oscurità, così fitta e cupa,
da quando più a me non risplende,
amore, la luce dei tuoi occhi.
 
Si è spento in me il dorato splendore,
delle dolci stelle d'amore.
Si apre ai miei piedi un abisso.
Oh notte eterna, prendimi adesso.

by Leander Schlegel (1844 - 1913), "Sie haben heut' abend Gesellschaft", op. 22 (Vier Lieder) no. 2, published 18--?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sie [haben]1 heut' abend Gesellschaft
Und das Haus ist lichterfüllt.
Dort oben am [hohen]2 Fenster
Bewegt sich ein Schattenbild.

Du [siehst]3 mich nicht, im Dunkeln
Steh' ich hier unten allein,
Noch weniger kannst du schauen
In mein dunkles Herz hinein.

Mein dunkles Herze liebt dich,
Es liebt dich und es bricht,
[Es]4 bricht und zuckt und verblutet,
[Du aber]5 siehst es nicht.

2. Hanno ospiti stasera
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Hanno ospiti stasera
E la casa è tutta illuminata.
Lassù presso la finestra
Un'ombra passa e ripassa.
 
Tu non mi puoi vedere, al buio
Io mi trattengo qui sotto,
e ancor meno puoi vedere
cosa mi si agita in petto.
 
Il mio cuore buio ti ama
Ti ama fino a spezzarsi,
si spezza, palpita e sanguina,
ma tu non lo puoi vedere.
