from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

M'è stato detto che voli partire
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
M'è stato detto che voli partire:
Specchio degli occhi miei do' vuoi andare?
E se tu parti mandamelo a dire.
Di lacrime ti voglio accompagnare.
Di lacrime ti bagnerò la via,
Ricordati di me, speranza mia:
Di lacrime ti bagnerò lo loco,
Ricordati di me, pensaci un poco.

Mir ward gesagt, du reisest in die Ferne.
Ach, wohin gehst du, mein geliebtes Leben?
Den Tag, an dem du scheidest, wüßt' ich gerne;
Mit Thränen will ich das Geleit dir geben.
Mit Thränen will ich deinen Weg befeuchten --
Gedenk' an mich, und Hoffnung wird mir leuchten!
Mit Thränen bin ich bei dir allerwärts -- 
Gedenk' an mich, vergiß es nicht, mein Herz!
