Translation by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800 - 1875)

O Nacht! O Duft!
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian - Venetian (dialect) 
O Nacht! O Duft! 
Komm, holde Ninetta, 
In meine Barchetta
Und athme die kühle,
Die göttliche Luft!
Nach glühender Helle 
Der milde Schein --
Auf dunkeler Welle 
Mit uns allein -- 
Das ist ja so lieblich;
Das ist ja so selig;
Das ist ja so himmlisch;
O komm herein!
