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!“

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!
