Un Addio
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Chosen for Diff
Addio, giorni felici,
passati in un baleno,
della mia patria in seno,
in sen d'un puro amor.

Ah! io parto, ma il mio cuore
con voi, con voi resta
e come un ombra mesta
sarò in estranio suol.

Addio, alma gentile,
addio, pupille amate,
che piangere mi fate
l'esiglio mio crudel.

Da voi lontano ognora
io penserò a quel giorno,
que a voi farò ritorno
per non partir mai più.

Ein Lebewohl
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Lebt wohl, ihr schönen Tage,
zu schnell dahingeschwunden!
Stets glüht von reiner Liebe
mein Herz fürs Vaterland.

Ich muss von hinnen scheiden,
mein Herz bleibt in der Heimat,
und wie ein düst'rer Schatten
wank' ich im fremden Land.

Ihr heißgeliebten Freunde,
du meines Lebens Wonne;
wie bin ich zu beklagen,
vom Vaterland verbannt!

Von euch auf immer ferne
denk' ich vergang'ner Tage;
es tönt die bange Klage:
Führt nie mich das Geschick
in euren Arm zurück?
