Our translations: DUT ENG ENG FRE ITA

Ein Vögelein
Fliegt über'n Rhein
Und wiegt die Flügel
Im Sonnenschein,
Sieht Rebenhügel
Und grüne Flut
 ... 
Wie wohl das tut,
So hoch erhoben
Im Morgenhauch!
Beim Vögelein droben,
O wär' ich auch!

Un uccelletto vola sul Reno

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Lang)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Un uccelletto
vola sul Reno
e agita le ali
nella luce del sole,
Vede vigneti sulle colline
e verdi flutti
 ... 
Come fa bene,
a levarsi in alto
nell'aria mattutina!
Fra gli uccelletti lassù,
potessi essere anch'io!
