La serenata del marinaro
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Riposa ognuno, e placida cresce la notte bruna, splende l'argentea luna, tacciono i venti e il mar. Ah! forse il ciglio languido tu chiudi al sonno, Elvira, mentre per te sospira l'afflitto marinar, mentre dolente e pallido la sua barchetta ei guida e il nome tuo confida al lido, all' aura, al mar. Elvira, ah! calma i palpiti d'un mesto cor che geme, desta la morta speme in petto al marinar. Digli: Io veglio, o misero, ed al tuo crudo affanno soltanto eco non fanno le vaste onde del mar; vedi, furtive lagrime spargo al tuo mesto canto, odo il lamento, il pianto del fido marinar!

Das Ständchen des Schiffers
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Des Abends Schatten sinken, rings herrschet tiefe Stille, Sternlein am Himmel blinken, ruhig ist Luft und Meer. Vielleicht schließt schon, Elvira, dein Auge süßer Schlummer; indes drückt düst'rer Kummer des Schiffers Herz so schwer. Die Stirn von Gram umzogen, durchgleitet er die Wogen, und deinen holden Namen vertraut er der kühlen Nacht. Elvira, hab' Erbarmen, o lind're seine Schmerzen, dass in des Schiffers Herzen die Hoffnung neu erwacht; sag' ihm: Noch deckt mein Aug' kein Schlummer, o wolle nicht verzagen, dein Ruf, dein leises Klagen tönt nicht dem Meer allein; sieh', eine stille Träne fließt deinem treuen Kummer, ich höre deine Töne, ich kenne deine Pein.
