Translation by Max Steinitzer (1864 - 1936)
Io mi credeva che tu fossi morto
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Io mi credeva che tu fossi morto, Quando non ti vedevo arritornare. Erano fatte le rose nell'orto, La grillandina ti volevo fare. Mo'che siete tornato, anima buona, La grillandina la butterem fuora: Mo'che siete tornato, anima cara, La grillandina la buttemo all'aria.

Mußt ich nicht glauben, längst wärst du gestorben?
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Mußt ich nicht glauben, längst wärst du gestorben? Harrt ich doch deiner Heimkehr wie lang vergebens! Schon wollt ich Efeu und Rosen dir brechen, Trauernd dir flechten eine Totenkrone! Nun Ihr wieder gekommen, Licht meiner Augen, Hoch in die Bäume laßt uns den Kranz schleudern! Nun Ihr wieder gekommen, Lust meiner Seele, Laßt uns die Krone hoch zur Sonne schleudern!
