Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE GRE ITA TUR

Das Wasser rauscht', das Wasser schwoll,
Ein Fischer saß daran,
Sah nach dem Angel ruhevoll,
Kühl bis ans Herz hinan.
Und wie er sitzt und wie er lauscht,
Theilt sich die Fluth empor;
Aus dem bewegten Wasser rauscht
Ein feuchtes Weib hervor.

Il pescatore

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Hensel)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

L'acqua mugghiava, l'acqua si gonfiava, 
un pescatore stava là, 
guardava l'amo immobile, 
freddo fino in fondo al cuore.
E come sta fermo e come ascolta, 
si staglia un'onda verso l'alto: 
dall'acqua che si agita 
viene fuori una donna bagnata.
