[Hör]1 es klagt die Flöte wieder
Und die kühlen [Brunnen]2 rauschen,
Golden wehn die Töne nieder,
Stille, [stille]3, laß uns lauschen!

Holdes Bitten, mild Verlangen,
[Wie es süß zum Herzen spricht]4!
Durch die Nacht die mich umfangen,
Blickt zu mir der Töne Licht.

Serenata
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Escucha, vuelve el lamento de la flauta
y las frescas fuentes susurran, 
el viento trae una brisa de dorados sonidos
Silencio, silencio, oigámoslo atentos.

Ruegos amables, tiernos anhelos
¡Cuán dulces hablan al corazón!
A través de la noche que me tiene cautiva
Mirándome está la luz de los sonidos.
