In questa tomba oscura
Language: Italian (Italiano)
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 dieses Grabes Dunkel
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
In dieses Grabes Dunkel Lass entschlummert mich sein; Ja, als ich lebte, Treulose, Ach, musstes du denken mein! O lass bei nackten Schatten Friedlich ruhn mein Herz Und benetze weinend meine Asche Nicht mit eitlem, eitlem Schmerz.1

In diesem, diesem dunklen Grabe Lass entschlummert mich sein Als ich auf Erden war, Falsche, O dachtest da du mein, du mein, du mein, Du treulos falsches Herz!
