Musica proibita
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Ogni sera di sotto al mio balcone Sento cantar una canzone d'amore, Più volte la ripete un bel garzone E battere mi sento forte il core. Oh quanto è dolce quella melodia! Oh com' è bella, quanto m' è gradita! Ch'io la canti non vuol la mamma mia: Vorrei saper perché me l'ha proibita? Ella non c'è ed io la vo' cantare La frase che m'ha fatto palpitare: Vorrei baciare i tuoi capelli neri, Le labbra tue e gli occhi tuoi severi, Vorrei morir con te, angel di Dio, O bella innamorata tesor mio. Qui sotto il vidi ieri a passeggiare, E lo sentiva al solito cantar: Vorrei baciare i tuoi capelli neri, Le labbra tue e gli occhi tuoi severi! Stringimi, o cara, stringimi al tuo core, Fammi provar l'ebbrezza dell'amor.

Verbotener Gesang
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG
Vom Balkon jeden Abend blickt' ich nieder; Da tönt's herauf wie zarte Herzensklagen. Ein schöner Mann sang schmelzend Liebeslieder, Und dann begann mein Herz mächtig zu schlagen, Ach mächtig, jedesmal, schlug mir das Herz. Das schöne Lied erfüllte mich mit Freuden; Wie hört' ich 's gerne, immer möcht' ich's hören. Doch sang ich's selber, die Mutter wollt's nicht leiden: Dass sie's verbot, weiss ich nicht zu erklären. Jetzt ist sie fort! Erklinge nun, mein Lied, Das mich unwiderstehlich immerdar durchglüht: "Die ernsten Augen, lasse mich sie küssen, Dein schwarzes Haar, die Lippen, ach, die süssen, Du Engelsbild, o dürft' ich mit dir sterben, Welch selig Los, den Himmel zu erwerben." Gestern noch sah ich ihn vorübergehen, Und wieder sang er, ich konnt' es wohl versteh'n: "Die ernsten Augen, lasse mich sie küssen, Dein schwarzes Haar, die Lippen, ach, die süssen, O du mein Engel, ewig lieb' ich dich, Schenk mir dein Herz! O komm, erhöre mich!"
