Ecco quel fiero istante

(Sung text for setting by F. Hensel)

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Ecco quel fiero istante:
  Nice, mia Nice, addio.
  Come vivrò ben mio,
  Così lontan da te?
    Io vivrò sempre in pene,
  Io non avrò più bene: 
  E tu, chi sa se mai
  Ti sovverrai di me! 

Soffri che in traccia almeno 
  Di mia perduta pace 
  Venga il pensier seguace
  In orme del tuo piè.
    Sempre nel tuo cammino,
  Sempre m' avrai vicino;
  E tu, chi sa se mai 
  Ti sovverai di me! 

 ... 

Pensa qual dolce strale, 
  Cara, mi lasci in seno:
  Pensa che amò Fileno
  Senza sperar mercè:
    Pensa, mia vita, a questo 
  Barbaro addio funesto:
  Pensa... Ah chi sa se mai 
  Ti sovverrai di me!

Nyt se kauhea hetki on käsillä

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Hensel)

See original

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the Italian (Italiano)

Nyt se kauhea hetki on käsillä;
Nizza, oma Nizzani, jää hyvästi!
Miten voin enää elää, omani,
niin kaukana sinusta?
Aina vaan pelkkää tuskaa;
mitään hyvää eo enää ole jäljellä,
ja sinä, kukapa sen tietää,
muistatko koskaan minua!
