Im wunderschönen Monat Mai, Als alle Knospen sprangen, Da ist in meinem Herzen Die Liebe aufgegangen. Im wunderschönen Monat Mai, Als alle Vögel sangen, Da hab' ich ihr gestanden Mein Sehnen und Verlangen.

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.

Dalla mie lacrime nascono tanti fiori che sbocciano, e i miei sospiri diventano un coro di usignoli. E se tu mi hai caro, bimba, regalo a te tutti i miei fiori e alla tua finestra risuonerà il canto degli usignoli.

La rosa, il giglio, la colomba, il sole, li amai tutti, un tempo, in voluttà d'amore. Non li amo più, amo soltanto la piccola, graziosa, pura, l'unica; lei sola, voluttà di tutti gli amori, è rosa e giglio e colomba e sole. Io amo soltanto la piccola, graziosa, pura, l'unica.

Im Rhein, im heiligen Strome, Da spiegelt sich in den Well'n Mit seinem großen Dome Das große, heil'ge Köln. Im Dom da steht ein Bildnis, Auf goldnem Leder gemalt; In meines Lebens Wildnis Hat's freundlich hineingestrahlt. Es schweben Blumen und Eng'lein Um unsre liebe Frau; Die Augen, die Lippen, die Wänglein, Die gleichen der Liebsten genau.

Nel Reno, nel sacro fiume, si specchia nelle onde col suo imponente duomo la grande, sacra Colonia. Nel duomo c'è un'immagine dipinta su cuoi dorato; nei momenti più aspri della mia vita mi risplende amica. Si librano fiori ed angeli intorno alla Nostra Signora; i suoi occhi, le labbra, le sue guance somigliano proprio al mio amore.

Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz auch bricht, Ewig verlor'nes Lieb, ich grolle nicht. Wie du auch strahlst in Diamantenpracht, Es fällt kein Strahl in deines Herzens Nacht. Das weiß ich längst. Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz auch bricht, Ich sah dich ja im Traume, Und sah die Nacht in deines Herzens Raume, Und sah die Schlang', die dir am Herzen frißt, Ich sah, mein Lieb, wie sehr du elend bist.

Io non mi lamento, anche se il cuore mi si spezza, amore perduto per sempre! Io non mi lamento. Se anche tu splendessi nella luce del diamante, non cadrebbe un raggio nella notte del tuo cuore. Questo lo so da tempo. Io non mi lamento, anche se il cuore mi si spezza. Ti ho visto in sogno, e ho visto la notte nel tuo cuore, ho visto il serpente che ti divora il cuore, ho visto, amore mio, quanto soffri.

Und wüßten's die Blumen, die kleinen, Wie tief verwundet mein Herz, Sie würden mit mir weinen, Zu heilen meinen Schmerz. Und wüßten's die Nachtigallen, Wie ich so traurig und krank, Sie ließen fröhlich erschallen Erquickenden Gesang. Und wüßten sie mein Wehe, Die goldenen Sternelein, Sie kämen aus ihrer Höhe, Und sprächen Trost mir ein. Sie alle können's nicht wissen, Nur eine kennt meinen Schmerz; Sie hat ja selbst zerrissen, Zerrissen mir das Herz.

Se sapessero i fiorellini, i piccoli, come profondo è ferito il mio cuore, piangerebbero con me, per risanare il mio dolore. Se sapessero gli usgnoli, quanto sono triste e malato, farebbero risuonare il canto lieto e consolatore. Se sapessero il mio tormento le stelline d'oro, verrebbero giù dal loro cielo e mi direbbero parole di conforto. Tutti loro non possono saperlo, Una sola conosce il mio dolore; lei che mi ha spezzato, mi ha spezzato il cuore.

Ein Jüngling liebt ein Mädchen, Die hat einen andern erwählt; Der andre liebt eine andre, Und hat sich mit dieser vermählt. Das Mädchen nimmt aus Ärger Den ersten besten Mann, Der ihr in den Weg gelaufen; Der Jüngling ist übel dran. Es ist eine alte Geschichte, Doch bleibt sie immer neu; Und wem sie just passieret, Dem bricht das Herz entzwei.

Un giovanotto ama una fanciulla, questa ha scelto un altro, ma quest'altro ama un'altra, e si è fidanzato con lei. La fanciulla prende per dispetto il primo brav'uomo che incontra per la strada; il giovanotto se ne accora. E' una storia vecchia, ma resta sempre nuova; e a chi vive questa storia, si spezza il cuore in due.

Tutte le notti in sogno ti vedo, e ti vedo salutare amica, e piangendo forte io mi prostro dolcemente ai tuoi piedi. Tu mi guardi malinconica e scuoti la testina bionda; dai tuoi occhi scivolano gocce di perle. Tu mi dici in segreto una parola sommessa e mi offri un mazzo di rami di cipresso.

Aus alten Märchen winkt es Hervor mit weißer Hand, Da singt es und da klingt es Von einem Zauberland; Wo bunte Blumen blühen Im gold'nen Abendlicht, Und lieblich duftend glühen, Mit bräutlichem Gesicht; Und grüne Bäume singen Uralte Melodei'n, Die Lüfte heimlich klingen, Und Vögel schmettern drein; Und Nebelbilder steigen Wohl aus der Erd' hervor, Und tanzen luft'gen Reigen Im wunderlichen Chor; Und blaue Funken brennen An jedem Blatt und Reis, Und rote Lichter rennen Im irren, wirren Kreis; Und laute Quellen brechen Aus wildem Marmorstein. Und seltsam in den Bächen Strahlt fort der Widerschein. Ach, könnt' ich dorthin kommen, Und dort mein Herz erfreu'n, Und aller Qual entnommen, Und frei und selig sein! Ach! jenes Land der Wonne, Das seh' ich oft im Traum, Doch kommt die Morgensonne, Zerfließt's wie eitel Schaum.

Note: this is the original version. Later editions had many changes.Dalle vecchie fiabe qualcosa mi chiama, mi fa cenno una mano bianca, e canta e risuona l'incanto di un paese magico; dove fiori colorati sbocciano nella luce dorata della sera, e ardono con gentile profumo nel loro volto di sposa; e verdi alberi cantano antichissime melodie, le aure suonano lievi e gli uccelli cantano con loro; e immagini di nebbia sorgono fuori dalla terra, e danzano carole aeree in strani cori; e bagliori azzurri splendono su ogni foglia e ogni ramoscello e luci rossastre si rincorrono in circoli folli e fantasiosi; e fonti sonore sgorgano da selvaggi blocchi di marmo, e strano nei ruscelli risplende il riflesso. Ah, potessi anch'io venire, e là rallegrare il mio cuore, e deporre ogni dolore, ed essere libero e beato! Ah! Quel paese della gioia che vedo spesso in sogno, al primo sole del mattino, svanisce come lieve schiuma.

Die alten, bösen Lieder, Die Träume bös' und arg, Die laßt uns jetzt begraben, Holt einen großen Sarg. Hinein leg' ich gar manches, Doch sag' ich noch nicht was; Der Sarg muß sein noch größer, Wie's Heidelberger Faß. Und holt eine Totenbahre, Und Bretter fest und dick; Auch muß sie sein noch länger, Als wie zu Mainz die Brück'. Und holt mir auch zwölf Riesen, Die müssen noch stärker sein Als wie der starke Christoph Im Dom zu Köln am Rhein. Die sollen den Sarg forttragen, Und senken ins Meer hinab, Denn solchem großen Sarge Gebührt ein großes Grab. Wißt ihr, warum der Sarg wohl So groß und schwer mag sein? Ich senkt' auch meine Liebe Und meinen Schmerz hinein.

I vecchi canti malvagi, i sogni brutti e maligni, dobbiamo ora seppellirli, prendete un grande sarcofago. Dentro vi metto tante cose, ma non dico ancora quali, la bara deve essere ancora più grande della botte di Heidelberg. E prendete una grande bara di assi forti e grosse; deve essere ancor più lunga del ponte di Magonza. E prendete anche dodici giganti, che devono essere ancora più forti del grande San Cristoforo del duomo di Colonia sul Reno. Questi porteranno la bara e la getteranno nel mare; perché a un sarcofago così grande si addice una grande tomba. Sapete perché il sarcofago sarà così grande e così pesante? Io verso il mio amore e il mio dolore là dentro.
