Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn durch die Piazetta Die Abendluft weht, [Dann]1 weißt du, Ninetta, Wer wartend [hier]2 steht. Du weißt, wer trotz Schleier Und Maske dich kennt, [Wie Amor die Venus Am Nachtfirmament.]3 Ein Schifferkleid trag' ich Zur selbigen Zeit, Und zitternd dir sag' ich: „Das Boot [liegt]4 bereit! [O, komm’! jetzt, wo Lune’n]5 Noch Wolken umziehn, Laß durch die Lagunen, [Mein Leben,]6 uns fliehn!“

2. When through the piazzetta
Language: English
When through the piazzetta blows the cool night air Then, darling Ninetta, I'll come to you there. Beneath your mask, hiding, I'll know you from afar (2) As love knows, tho' clouding its own evening star. I'll masquerade for you as a fair Gondolier, And whisper, trembling -- "Our boat, love, is near!" Now come, under cover of the clouds by the moon ... Now come, fly with me, o'er the silent Lagoon.
