Venetianisches Lied II See original
Language: German (Deutsch) after the English
Wenn durch die Piazetta Die Abendluft weht, Dann weißt du, Ninetta, Wer wartend hier steht. Du weißt, wer trotz Schleier Und Maske dich kennt, Wie Amor die Venus Am Nachtfirmament. Ein Schifferkleid trag' ich Zur selbigen Zeit, Und zitternd dir sag' ich: „Das Boot liegt bereit! O komm, wo den Mond Noch Wolken umziehn, Laß durch die Lagunen, Mein Leben, uns fliehn!“
Confirmed with Ferdinand Freiligrath's sämmtliche Werke, Dritter Band, New-York: Verlag von Friedrich Gerhard, 1858, page 326.

Quando per la Piazzetta See original
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Quando per la Piazzetta Soffia la brezza serale Allora sai bene, Ninetta, chi qui ti sta ad aspettare. Tu sai chi, anche se hai il velo E la maschera, ben ti conosce Wie Amor die Venus am Nachtfirmament. Mi vesto da gondoliere In quello stesso momento, e ti dico, tutto in tremore, che a prendere il remo liegt pronto! O komm, wo den Mond, Così noi per la laguna, potremo fuggire, mein Leben!
