Language: German (Deutsch) after the English

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE ITA ITA LIT

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!“

Venetiaans lied II

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Als door de Piazetta
De avondwind gaat,
Dan weet je, Ninetta,
Wie wachtend hier staat.
Wie ondanks je sluier
En masker jou kent,
Als Amor zijn Venus
aan 't nachtfirmament.
 
Een gondelier ben ik
In kleed en gebaar,
En bevende zeg ik:
De boot ligt al klaar!
O kom, nu nog wolken
Verhullen de maan,
Laat door de lagunen,
Mijn leven, ons gaan!
