Translation by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)
Se ti savessi, o falsa renegada
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Se ti savessi, o falsa renegada, Le pene che ò patío per el to amore, Quando ti gèri in camera serada, E mi, meschin, de fora a le verdure, La piova me pareva aqua rosada, E i lampi me parea segni d'amore. E la tempesta me pareva dài, Quando che gèra soto i to tolài. E soto i to tolài gera 'l mio leto, El ciel sereno gèra 'l mio coverto; El scalin de la porta, el mio cussin: Che vita che faceva, o poverin!

O wüßtest du, wie viel ich deinetwegen, Du falsche Renegatin, litt zur Nacht, Indeß du im verschloßnen Haus gelegen Und ich die Zeit im Freien zugebracht. Als Rosenwasser diente mir der Regen, Der Blitz hat Liebesbotschaft mir gebracht; Ich habe Würfel mit dem Sturm gespielt, Als unter deinem Dach ich Wache hielt. Mein Bett war unter deinem Dach bereitet, Der Himmel lag als Decke drauf gebreitet, Die Schwelle deiner Thür, das war mein Kissen - Ich Ärmster, ach, was hab' ich ausstehn müssen!
