Translation by Max Steinitzer (1864 - 1936)
La Vedovella
Language: Italian (Italiano)
La vedovella, quando rifà il letto, Di lacrime ne bagna le lenzuola; E rimirando il suo candido petto, Piange e duole in ritrovarsi sola. E mentre pensa al suo perduto amore, La piaga più le s'apre in mezzo al cuore! E mentre pensa al suo perduto amore, La piaga più le s'apre in mezzo al cuore!

Die junge Witwe
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Sonnt früh ihr Bett, die junge, blasse Witwe, Benetzt das weiße Linnen sie mit Tränen; Weiß wie des Linnens Schnee schimmert ihr Busen, Rot brennt ihr Auge; rot von der stummen Trauer. Und wenn sie so gedenkt der toten Liebe, Wie blutet neu die Wunde ihres Herzens! Und wenn sie so gedenkt der toten Liebe, Wie blutet neu die Wunde ihres Herzens!
