1. Abendfeier in Venedig
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ave Maria! Meer und Himmel ruh'n,
Von allen Türmen hallt der Glocken Ton,
Ave Maria! Laßt vom ird'schen Tun,
Zur Jungfrau betet, zu der Jungfrau Sohn,
Des Himmels Scharen selber knieen nun
Mit Lilienstäben vor des Vaters Thron,
Und durch die Rosenwolken wehn die Lieder
Der sel'gen Geister feierlich hernieder.

1. Vespro a Venezia
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Ave Maria! Mare e Cielo riposano,
da tutte le torri echeggia il suono delle campane.
Ave Maria! Lasciate le occupazioni di questo mondo,
pregate la Vergine, pregate il Figlio della Vergine.
Le stesse schiere celesti adesso si inginocchiano
con steli di giglio davanti al trono del Padre,
e attraverso le nubi rosate spirano i canti
degli spiriti beati verso la Terra.

2. Vorwärts
Language: German (Deutsch)
Lass das Träumen, lass das Zagen, Unermüdet wandre fort! Will die Kraft dir schier versagen, 'Vorwärts' ist das rechte Wort. Darfst nicht weilen, wenn die Stunde Rosen dir entgegenbringt, Wenn dir aus des Meeres Grunde Die Sirene lockend singt. Vorwärts, vorwärts! Im Gesange Ringe mit dem Schmerz der Welt, Bis auf deine heisse Wange Goldner Strahl von oben fällt, Bis der Kranz, der dichtbelaubte, Schattig deine Stirn umwebt, Bis verklärend überm Haupte Dir des Geistes Flamme schwebt. Vorwärts drum durch Feindes Zinnen, Vorwärts durch des Todes Pein, Wer den Himmel will gewinnen, Muss ein rechter Kämpfer sein!

2. Avanti
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Lascia i sogni, lascia le esitazioni, procedi instancabile! Se la forza ti vuole abbandonare, "Avanti" è la parola giusta! Non ti è concesso sostare, quando il momento ti si dimostra favorevole, quando dal profondo del mare invitante canta la sirena. Avanti, avanti! Attraverso il canto lotta con il dolore del mondo, finché sulla tua guancia ardente un raggio dorato cada dal cielo, finché la ghirlanda più ricca di fronde ombrosa non cinga la tua fronte, finché non fluttui sul tuo capo la trasfigurante fiamma dello Spirito. Avanti dunque, attraverso le difese1 del nemico, avanti attraverso la pena della morte. Chi vuole conquistare il Cielo deve essere un vero combattente!

3. Gondoliera
Language: German (Deutsch)
O komm zu mir, wenn durch die Nacht Wandelt das Sternenheer, Dann schwebt mit uns in Mondespracht Die Gondel übers Meer. Die Luft ist weich wie Liebesscherz, Sanft spielt der goldne Schein, Die Zither klingt und zieht dein Herz Mit in die Lust hinein. O komm zu mir, wenn durch die Nacht Wandelt das Sternenheer, Dann schwebt mit uns in Mondespracht Die Gondel übers Meer. Dies ist für sel'ge Lieb' die Stund, Liebchen, o komm und schau, So friedlich strahlt des Himmels Rund, Es schläft des Meeres Blau. Und wie es schläft, so sagt der Blick, Was nie die Zunge spricht, Das Auge zieht sich nicht zurück, zurück die Seele nicht O komm zu mir, wenn durch die Nacht Wandelt das Sternenheer, Dann schwebt mit uns in Mondespracht Die Gondel übers Meer.

3. Gondoliera
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Oh, vieni da me, quando attraverso la notte passeggia l'esercito delle stelle e ondeggia con noi nello splendore lunare la gondola sul mare. L'aria è tenue come uno scherzo d'amore, teneramente gioca il chiarore dorato, la cetra suona e coinvolge il tuo cuore nel piacere. Oh, vieni da me, quando attraverso la notte passeggia l'esercito delle stelle e ondeggia con noi nello splendore lunare la gondola sul mare. Questa è l'ora degli amanti, mia adorata, come me e te; così pacificamente blueggia il cerchio del cielo, in pace dorme il mare. E mentre dorme, allora dice lo sguardo ciò che nessuna lingua esprime, il labbro non si oppone al bacio. Oh, vieni da me, quando attraverso la notte passeggia l'esercito delle stelle e ondeggia con noi nello splendore lunare la gondola sul mare.
