Translation by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)
Facciam la pace, caro bene mio
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Facciam la pace, caro bene mio, Che questa guerra non può piú durare. Se non la vuoi far tu, la farò io: Fra me e te non ci è guerra mortale. Fanno la pace principi e signori: Cosí la posson fare due amatori. Fanno la pace principi e soldati: Cosí la posson far due innamorati. Fanno la pace principi e tenenti: Tanto la posson far du' cor contenti.

Nun laß uns Frieden schließen, liebstes Leben, Zu lang ist's schon, daß wir in Fehde liegen. Wenn du nicht willst, will ich mich dir ergeben; Wie könnten wir uns auf den Tod bekriegen? Es schließen Frieden Könige und Fürsten, Und sollten Liebende nicht darnach dürsten? Es schließen Frieden Fürsten und Soldaten, Und sollt' es zwei Verliebten wohl mißrathen? Meinst du, daß, was so großen Herrn gelingt, Ein Paar zufriedner Herzen nicht vollbringt?
