Translation by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)
Caro amor mio, non mi far l'adirato
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Caro amor mio, non mi far l'adirato. Averla contro me non hai ragione. Piglia un coltel che sia ben appuntato, Vieni alla volta mia, passami il core. Se non serve un coltel, prendi una spada, E del mio sangue fanne una fontana. Se non serve un coltel, prendi un pugnale, E lava nel mio sangue ogni mio male.

Was soll der Zorn, mein Schatz, der dich erhitzt? Ich bin mir keiner Sünde ja bewußt, Ach, lieber nimm ein Messer wohlgespitzt Und tritt zu mir, durchbohre mir die Brust. Und taugt ein Messer nicht, so nimm ein Schwert, Daß meines Blutes Quell gen Himmel fährt. Und taugt ein Schwert nicht, nimm des Dolches Stahl Und wasch' in meinem Blut all meine Qual.
