by J. Ch. W. Hahn , "Wenn ich in deine Augen seh'", op. 20 (Drei Lieder) no. 1 [ baritone or mezzo-soprano and piano ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']1,
So schwindet [all' mein Leid]2 und Weh; 
Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund,
So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund.

Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust,
Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich!
[So]3 muß ich weinen bitterlich.

1. Quando ti guardo negli occhi
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Quando ti guardo negli occhi,
svanisce ogni mia pena e dolore;
e quando bacio la tua bocca
si risana tutto il mio essere.

Quando giaccio sul tuo petto,
scende su di me una gioia celeste;
ma quando dici: Ti amo!
piango lacrime amare.

2. 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.

3. Ho pianto in sogno
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ho pianto in sogno.
Sognavo che tu giacevi nella tomba.
Mi svegliai, e la lacrima
scorreva ancora già peril mio viso.

Ho pianto in sogno.
Sognavo che tu mi lasciavi.
Mi svegliai, e piansi
ancora amaramente.

Ho pianto in sogno.
Sognavo che tu mi amavi ancora.
Mi svegliai, e ancora sempre
scorre il fiume della mie lacrime.
