Zwei Musikanten ziehn daher
Vom Wald aus weiter Ferne,
Der eine ist verliebt gar sehr,
Der andre wär es gerne.
[Die]1 stehn allhier im kalten Wind
Und singen schön und geigen:
Ob nicht ein süßverträumtes Kind
Am Fenster sich wollt' zeigen?

Due musicanti arrivano qua
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Due musicanti arrivano qua
da un bosco lontano lontano;
uno è molto innamorato,
l'altro lo sarebbe volentieri.
Se ne stanno qui al vento freddo,
piacevolmente cantando e suonando il violino:
ci sarà una dolce e sognante fanciulla
che voglia affacciarsi alla finestra?
