Quando di lui la sospirata vita

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Quando di lui la sospirata vita
Nel mio cor vola e di cor più non priva
Vive e, vivendo, aviva.
Vita e morte gradita!
Non sa che sia gioire
Chi non sa così viver e morire.

Wenn von ihr geseufztes Leben

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)

Wenn von ihr geseufztes Leben
mir ins Herze fliegt, und das Herz nicht länger sich entzieht,
lebt es und wird lebend neu belebt.
Leben, Tod seid mir willkommen!
Wer so sich nicht zu freuen weiß,
weiß so auch nicht zu leben und zu sterben.
