from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Max Steinitzer (1864 - 1936)

Dio ti facesse star tanto diguino
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Dio ti facesse star tanto digiuno
Quanto sei stato a venir mia vedere!
Ti pensi a me che non mi sappia duro
Volerti bene e mai non ti vedere? 

Ti pensi a me che non mi sappio amaro
Volerti bene e vederti di rado? 
Pensate voiche io ci abbia piacere
Volervi bene e mai non vi vedere?

Gott lasse dich so viele Tage fasten
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Gott lasse dich so viele Tage fasten, 
Als ich mußt harren dich wieder zu sehen!
Du glaubst wohl, daß es mich nicht wenig gräme, 
Verliebt zu sein, dich ewig nicht zu sehen? 

Du glaubst wohl, daß es mich nicht wenig härme,
Dich lieb zu haben, und kaum dich zu sehen?
Ihr glaubt wohl gar, mir geschah' eitel Wonne,
Euch anzubeten und nie Euch doch zu sehen?
