Wenn die Sonne lieblich schiene Wie in Welschland lau und blau, Ging' ich mit der Mandoline Durch die überglänzte Au. In der Nacht [dann]1 Liebchen lauschte An dem Fenster süß verwacht; Wünschte mir und ihr, uns Beiden, Heimlich eine schöne Nacht. Wenn die Sonne lieblich schiene Wie in Welschland lau und blau, Ging' ich mit der Mandoline Durch die überglänzte Au.

Quand le riant soleil brillait Comme dans l'Italie tiède et bleue, Je partis avec ma mandoline Par la plaine inondée de lumière. Plus tard dans la nuit mon amie prêta l'oreille À la fenêtre doucement éveillée ; À moi, à elle, à tous deux, elle souhaita Secrètement une belle nuit. Quand le riant soleil brillait Comme dans l'Italie tiède et bleue, Je partis avec ma mandoline Par la plaine inondée de lumière.
