Finstere Schatten der Nacht,

Das ist der nur allein,

Meilen entfernt vom Strande.

Oscure ombre notturne
presagio di flutti tempestosi! 
Sarà mai capace, chi tranquillo
riposa sulla terra ferma,
di capire il vostro linguaggio?
Soltanto lo può colui,
che sopra il mare selvaggio
sta solo in balìa di tempesta
lontano molte miglia dalla costa.

Povero cuore, la tua pena è così opprimente!
L'unica cosa che conta per te sta davanti ai tuoi occhi;
ma ti è vietata la gioia di un' unione.

13. Nein, Geliebter, setze dich [sung text checked 1 time]

Nein, Geliebter, setze dich
mir so nahe nicht!
Starre nicht so brünstiglich
mir ins Angesicht!
 
Wie es auch im Busen brennt,
dämpfe deinen Trieb,
daß es nicht die Welt erkennt,
wie wir uns so lieb.

13. No, amor mio, non accostarti

No, amor mio, non accostarti
troppo vicino a me!
Non fissarmi così ardentemente
guardandomi in volto.

Anche se il tuo cuore sta bruciando,
reprimi i tuoi impulsi,
in modo che il mondo non possa scoprire
quanto ci amiamo.

14. Flammenauge, dunkles Haar [sung text checked 1 time]

Flammenauge, dunkles Haar,
Knabe wonnig und verwogen,
Kummer ist durch dich hinein
in mein armes Herz gezogen!

Kann in Eis der Sonne Brand,
sich in Nacht der Tag verkehren?
Kann die heisse Menschenbrust
atmen ohne Glutbegehren?

Ist die Flur so voller Licht,
daß die Blum' im Dunkel stehe?
Ist die Welt so voller Lust,
daß das Herz in Qual vergehe?

14. Occhi di brace, chioma corvina

Occhi di brace, chioma corvina,
fanciullo delizioso e audace,
per causa tua il dolore
è penetrato nel mio povero cuore!

Può il calore del sole diventare ghiaccio
e il giorno trasformarsi in notte?
Può il petto ardente di un uomo
respirare senza bramare di desiderio?

Forse che i prati sono così pieni di luce,
affinché i fiori stiano al buio?
Forse che il mondo è così pieno di piaceri,
affinché il cuore si perda nei tormenti?

15. Zum Schluß [sung text checked 1 time]

Nun, ihr Musen, genug! Vergebens strebt ihr zu schildern,
Wie sich Jammer und Glück wechseln in liebender Brust.
Heilen könnet die Wunden ihr nicht, die Amor geschlagen;
Aber Linderung kommt einzig, ihr Guten, von euch.

15.

Ma ora basta, o Muse! Invano vi sforzate di descrivere
come disperazione e felicità si alternano nell'animo di chi ama.
Le ferite che ha inflitto Amore non riuscirete a guarirle,
eppure sollievo può venire solo da voi, o benigne.
