Language: German (Deutsch)
Leis' rudern hier, mein Gondolier! Die Flut vom Ruder sprühn so leise laß, daß sie uns nur vernimmt, zu der wir zieh'n! O könnte, wie er schauen kann, der Himmel reden -- traun, Er spräche vieles wohl von dem, was Nachts die Sterne schau'n! Nun rasten hier, mein Gondolier! Ins Boot die Ruder! sacht! [Auf]1 zum Balkone schwing' ich mich, doch du hältst unten Wacht, O, wollten halb so eifrig nur dem Himmel wir uns weih'n, Als schöner Weiber [Dienste]2 -- trau'n, wir könnten Engel sein!

Suau rema aquí El meu gondolier! El torrent mulla el rem tan suau. Deixa, que ell només ens percebi, Per ell nosaltres llisquem! Oh podria, igual com ell pot veure, Que el cel parlés Ell parlés molt bé d'ell El què en la nit veuen els estels! Ara descansa aquí, El meu gondolier, A la barca el rem! Suaument! Al balcó m'agito, Tu ets vigilant cap avall Oh si fossim tan devots al Cel com busquem favors en les dones belles Podríem ser àngels!
