1. Lied: von Heine  [sung text not yet checked]
by Carl Gustav Ebell , "Lied: von Heine", op. 1 (Sechs Lieder) no. 1
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lieb' Liebchen, leg's Händchen [aufs]1 Herze mein; -
Ach, hörst du, wie's [pochet]2 im Kämmerlein?
Da hauset ein Zimmermann schlimm und arg,
Der zimmert mir einen Totensarg.

[Es]3 hämmert und klopfet bei Tag und bei Nacht;
[Es]3 hat mich schon längst um den Schlaf gebracht.
Ach! sputet Euch, Meister Zimmermann,
Damit ich [balde]4 schlafen kann.

1. Amore mio, posa la mano sul mio cuore
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Amore mio, posa la mano sul mio cuore; -
Ah, senti come batte nella cameretta?
Qui abita un carpentiere brutto e malvagio,
che costruisce per me una cassa da morto.

Martella e picchia giorno e notte;
spesso mi ha svegliato dal sonno.
Ah! Fate presto, mastro carpentiere,
ché io possa finalmente dormire.

2. Auf Flügeln des Gesanges  [sung text not yet checked]
by Carl Gustav Ebell , "Auf Flügeln des Gesanges", op. 1 (Sechs Lieder) no. 5
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Auf Flügeln des Gesanges,
Herzliebchen, trag ich dich fort,
Fort nach den Fluren des Ganges,
Dort weiß ich den schönsten Ort;

Dort liegt ein [rotblühender]1 Garten
Im stillen Mondenschein,
Die Lotosblumen erwarten
Ihr trautes Schwesterlein.

Die Veilchen kichern und kosen,
Und schaun nach den Sternen empor,
Heimlich erzählen die Rosen
Sich duftende Märchen ins Ohr.

Es hüpfen herbei und lauschen
Die frommen, klugen Gazelln,
Und in der Ferne rauschen
Des [heiligen]2 Stromes Well'n.

Dort wollen wir niedersinken
Unter dem Palmenbaum,
Und Liebe und Ruhe trinken,
Und träumen seligen Traum.

2. Sulle ali del canto
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Sulle ali del canto,
amore, ti porto via,
via verso i prati del Gange,
dove conosco il posto più bello.

Là c'è un giardino fiorito di rosso
nel tacito chiaro di luna,
i fiori di loto aspettano
la loro fedele sorella.

Le violette sorridono e amoreggiano,
e guardano in su, verso le stelle,
in segreto narrano le rose
fiabe profumate.

Qui saltellano e corrono
le sagge, brave gazzelle,
e là lontano scorrono
le acque del fiume sacro.

Là vogliamo distenderci
sotto la palma,
e gustare amore e pace,
e sognare sogni beati.
