Language: German (Deutsch) 
Finstere Schatten der Nacht,
Wogen- und Wirbelgefahr!
Sind wohl, die da gelind
rasten auf sicherem Lande,
euch zu begreifen im Stande?
Das ist der nur allein,
welcher auf wilder See
stürmischer Öde treibt,
Meilenentfernt vom Strande.

2. Oscure ombre notturne
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
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.

3. Le dita delle mie mani
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Le dita delle mie mani
erano tutte adorne di anelli,
regalati da mio fratello
in segno del suo affetto.
E io, uno dopo l'altro,
li ho dati a quel fascinoso, 
ma indegno, giovinetto.

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Begli occhi scuri, un vostro cenno basta;

Come potrebbe resistere, sotto un tale assalto,
il mio povero cuore, nel suo castello di carta?

Wahre, wahre deinen Sohn,

Flammet ihm die Seele nicht --

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Proteggi, proteggi tuo figlio,
dal dolore, o vicina;

già vengo per incantarlo.

Oh, come già arde il mio sguardo
pronto ad accendere passione!
Se la sua anima non si infiamma,
si incendierà la tua casa.

Tutto, tutto perduto nel vento

installa le tue trappole!
Tu sei un ladro spudorato
che corteggi chiunque!

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
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?
