Translation by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

Parte la nave
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Parte la nave, 
spiegar le vele,
vento crudele 
mi fa partir.
  Addio, Amanda, 
  Amanda, addio,
  piacendo a Dio
  to rivedrò;
  non piangi, bella, 
  non piangi, no!
  che al mio 
  ritorno ti sposerò.

Il capitano 
mi chiama a bordo,
io faccio il sordo 
per non sentir.
  Addio, Amanda, Amanda, addio, etc.

[ ... ]

G. Göhler sets stanzas 1, 3

Confirmed with Italienisches Liederbuch von Paul Heyse, Berlin, Verlag von Wilhelm Herz, 1860, page 281.

Bald stößt vom Lande 
Das Schiff geschwinde,
Grausame Winde 
Reißen mich fort.
  Fahrwohl, Amanda,  
  Wir müssen scheiden!
  Gott wird uns Beiden 
  Gnädig sein. 
  Weine nicht, o Holde,
   ... 
  Kehr' ich nach Hause,
  Werd' ich dich frei'n.

Schon ruft der Schiffsherr,
An Bord zu gehen,
Dich noch zu sehen, 
Stell' ich mich taub.
  Fahrwohl, Amanda, etc.
