Und als ich ein winzig Bübchen war,
  Hop heisa, bei Regen und Wind!
Da machten zweie nun eben ein Paar,
  Denn der Regen, der regnet jeglichen Tag.

 ... 

Und als ich ach! ein Weib tat frei'n,
  Hop heisa, bei Regen und Wind!
Da wollte mir Müßig gehn nicht gedeihn,
  Denn der Regen, der regnet jeglichen Tag.

 ... 

Die Welt steht schon eine hübsche Weil',
  Hop heisa, bei Regen und Wind!
Doch das Stück ist nun aus, und ich wünsch' euch viel Heil;
  Und daß es euch künftig gefalle!

Canzone finale del matto

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

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

E quando ero un ragazzino piccolo piccolo,
tra la la, tra la la, con pioggia e vento,
di due si faceva sempre un paio,
perché la pioggia, piove ogni giorno.

 ... 






Il mondo è certo un bellissimo posto,
tra la la, tra la la, con pioggia e vento,
ma ora è finita la commedia, ed io vi auguro tanto bene,
e che sempre vi piaccia.
