Intorno all'idol mio

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG GER

Intorno all'idol mio spirate pur, spirate,
Aure, Aure soavi e grate,
E nelle guancie elette
Baciatelo per me,
Cortesi, cortesi aurette!

Al mio ben, che riposa
Su l'ali della quiete,
Grati, grati sogni assistete
E il mio racchiuso ardore
Svelate gli per me,
O larve, o larve d'amore!

Rings um meinen Angebeteten

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

 Rings um meinen Angebeteten
 weht doch, weht
 sanfte und freundliche Lüfte;
 und seine erwählten Wangen
 küsst sie für mich - Minnebrisen.

 Meinem Geliebten,
 der auf den Schwingen der Stille ruht,
 bringt ihm schöne Träume,
 und enthüllt ihm
 meine verborgene Liebesglut - 
 ihr maskierten Liebesboten.
