In questa tomba oscura
   Lasciami riposar;
Quando vivevo, ingrata,
   Dovevi a me pensar.

Lascia che l'ombre ignude
  Godansi pace almen
E non, e non bagnar mie ceneri
  D'inutile velen.

Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
In dieses Grabes Dunkel
Lass entschlummert mich sein;
Ja, als ich lebte, Treulose,
Ach, musstes du denken mein!

O lass bei nackten Schatten
Friedlich ruhn mein Herz
Und benetze weinend meine Asche
Nicht mit eitlem, eitlem Schmerz.

In diesem, diesem dunklen Grabe
Lass entschlummert mich sein
Als ich auf Erden war, Falsche,
O dachtest da du mein, du mein, du mein,
Du treulos falsches Herz!

Note: From the Beethoven score.
