1. Saluto
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Lieve parte dal mio cuore
un'amabile canzone,
risuona, canzoncina di primavera,
risuona via lontano.

Risuona via fino alla casa
dove sbocciano i fiori
e quando vedi la rosa,
dille che io la saluto.

Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Die blauen Frühlingsaugen
Schau'n aus dem Gras [hervor]1;
Das sind die [lieben]2 Veilchen,
Die ich zum Strauß erkor.

  Ich pflücke sie und denke,
Und die Gedanken all,
Die mir im Herzen seufzen,
Singt laut die Nachtigall.

  [Ja,]3 was ich denke, singt sie
[Lautschmetternd]4, daß es schallt;
Mein zärtliches Geheimnis
Weiß schon der ganze Wald.

2. Gli occhi azzurri della primavera
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Gli occhi azzurri della primavera 
guardano dall'erba,
sono le care, care violette, 
che io raccolgo in un mazzetto.

Le colgo e penso, 
e tutti i pensieri
che mi sospirano nel cuore 
li esprime nel canto l'usignolo.

Sì, ciò che io penso, 
lo canta a squarciagola;
il mio gentile segreto 
lo sa già tutto il bosco.

3. Fanciulla dalla boccuccia rossa
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Fanciulla dalla boccuccia rossa,
dagli occhi dolci e chiari,
tu mia dolce piccola fanciulla,
a te penso sempre e sempre.

Lunga è oggi la sera d'inverno
ed io vorrei essere con te,
stare con te, parlare con te,
nell'intima cameretta.

Alle labbra vorrei premere
la tua piccola bianca mano,
e bagnarla di lacrime,
la tua piccola, bianca mano.

Und dies Büchlein ist die Urne
Mit der Asche meiner Liebe.

4.
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
«Dì, dov’è la tua bella innamorata,
a chi un tempo si bello cantavi
mentre le fiamme di magico potere
meravigliosamente il tuo cuore ispiravano?»

Quelle fiamme si sono estinto,
ed il mio cuore è freddo e torbido,
e questo picciol libro è l’urna
colle ceneri del mio amore.
