Morgenständchen

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

Our translations: ENG FRE

Drei Tage schon im Bette
Liegt Nina frisch und roth.
Erweckt sie um die Wette,
Sie schläft sich sonst zu Tod.
  Mit Pauken- und Cymbel- und Zitherklang 
  Erweckt mir doch Ninetta,
  O helft mir aus der Noth! 
  Ninetta, Ninetta!
  Sie schläft sich sonst zu Tod.

Morning serenade

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Three days in bed already 
Nina lies, fresh and rosy.
Oh, hasten to wake her up,
Otherwise she'll sleep herself to death.
  With the sound of kettledrum and cymbal and zither
  Awaken Ninetta for me,
  Oh help me out of my distress!
  Ninetta, Ninetta!
Otherwise she'll sleep herself to death.
