In questa tomba oscura
   Lasciami riposar;
Quando vivevo, ingrata,
   Dovevi a me pensar.

Lascia che l'ombre ignude
  Godansi pace almen
E non, e non bagnar mie ceneri
  D'inutile velen.

In deze donkere tombe

(Sung text translation for setting by L. Beethoven)

Matches original text

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the Italian (Italiano)

In deze donkere tombe
Laat nu mij rusten zacht;
Toen ik nog leefde, gemene,
Had toen aan mij gedacht!
 
Laat nu de naakte schimmen
Eind’lijk in vrede toch zijn
En kom mijn as niet baden in tranenvloed
Met nutteloos venijn.

 
In deze, in deze donkere tombe
Laat nu mij rusten zacht.
Toen ik nog leefde, gemene,
Had toen aan mij gedacht, aan mij gedacht.
Gemene, gemene!
