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

Quando sarà quel benedetto giorno?
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Quando sarà quel benedetto giorno,
Che le tue scale salirò pian piano,
e i tuoi frateli mi verrano intorno, 
Ad uno ad un gli toccherò la mano? 

Quando sarà quel di, cara colonna, 
Che la tua mamma chiamerò mia nonna?
Quando sarà quel di, caro amor mio?
lo sarò vostra e voi sarete mio!

Wann wird der Tag, der benedeite, tagen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
 Wann wird der Tag, der benedeite, tagen,
 Wo Stuf' um Stuf' zu dir ich steig' ganz leise,
 Und mich umdrängen alle deine Lieben,
 Und allen reiche züchtig ich die Hände?
 
 Wann endlich kommt der Tag der Freud' und Wonne, 
 Da deine Mutter meine Mutter heiße? 
 Wann endlich kommt der Tag der Wonn' und Freude? 
 Ich bin die Deine und du, du , du bist ganz der Meine!
