Aus der Heimat hinter den Blitzen rot
Da kommen die Wolken her,
Aber Vater und Mutter sind lange tot,
Es kennt mich dort [keiner]¹ mehr.

Wie bald, wie bald kommt die stille Zeit,
Da ruhe ich auch, und über mir
[Rauschet]² die schöne Waldeinsamkeit,
Und keiner [mehr kennt mich auch]³ hier.

In terra straniera

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

Dalla patria, dietro il rosso dei fulmini,
ecco, si avvicinano le nubi,
ma mio padre e mia madre sono morti da tempo,
nessuno là più mi conosce.

Quando, ah presto, viene il tempo quieto,
in cui riposo anch'io, e su di me
risuona la bella solitudine del bosco,
e nessuno qui più mi conosce.
