Oh, quanto tempo l'ho desiderato
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Oh, quanto tempo l'ho desiderato Un damo aver che fosse sonatore! Eccolo qua che Dio me l'ha mandato Tutto coperto di rose e viole; Eccolo qua che vien pianin pianino A capo basso, e suona il violino.

Wie lange schon war immer mein Verlangen: Ach, wäre doch ein Musikus mir gut! Nun ließ der Herr mich meinen Wunsch erlangen Und schickt mir einen, ganz wie Milch und Blut. Da kommt er eben her mit sanfter Miene, Und senkt den Kopf und spielt die Violine.
