Es weiß und rät es doch Keiner, Wie mir so wohl ist, so wohl! Ach, wüßt es nur Einer, nur Einer, Kein Mensch es sonst wissen soll! So still ist's nicht draußen im Schnee, So stumm und verschwiegen sind Die Sterne nicht in der Höhe, Als meine Gedanken sind. Ich wünscht', es wäre schon Morgen, Da fliegen zwei Lerchen auf, Die überfliegen einander, Mein Herz folgt ihrem Lauf. Ich wünscht', ich wäre ein Vöglein Und zöge über das Meer, Wohl über das Meer und weiter, Bis daß ich im Himmel wär'!

Nessuno lo sa, nessuno lo indovina, quanto mi piace, mi piace! Ah, se lo sapesse uno, uno solo, nessuno altrimenti lo deve sapere. Non c'è tanta quiete fuori nella neve, così mute e tranquille non sono le stelle nel cielo, come lo sono i miei pensieri. Vorrei essere un uccellino e volare sul mare, di là dal mare e ancora oltre, fino ad arrivare in cielo. Nessuno lo sa, nessuno lo indovina, quanto mi piace, mi piace! Ah, se lo sapesse uno, uno solo, nessuno altrimenti lo deve sapere.
