Voglio tuffare la mia anima
 (Sung text translation for setting by O. Raif)
 See original
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Voglio tuffare la mia anima
nel calice del giglio;
il giglio con dolce suono rievocherà
una canzone dell'amore mio.

La canzone tremerà con un brivido
come il bacio della sua bocca,
che lei mi diede una volta
in un'ora dolcissima e stupenda!
