Translation by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)
Non posso piú cantar
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Non posso piú cantar, che tira vento E m'entra in bocca, e non mi lassa dire: L'ho ben paura di perdarlo il tempo. Fossi sicur, non andere' a dormire. Fossi sicuro, a dormir 'n andarei: Chesto bel tempo non lo perdarei.

Nicht länger kann ich singen, denn der Wind Weht stark und macht dem Athem was zu schaffen. Auch fürcht' ich, daß die Zeit umsonst verrinnt. Ja wär' ich sicher, ging' ich jetzt nicht schlafen. Ja wüßt' ich was, würd' ich nicht heimspazieren Und einsam diese schöne Zeit verlieren.
