Auf dem Rhein
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Auf deinem Grunde haben
Sie an verborgnem Ort
Den goldnen Schatz begraben,
Der Nibelungen Hort.
Ihn wahren deine Wellen
Bis an den Jüngsten Tag,
Zu der geheimen Stellen
Kein Räuber dringen mag.
Mir ward ins Herz gesenket
Ein Schatz, gleich wie dem Rhein,
Er ist darin ertränket,
Wird ewig drinnen sein.

Sul Reno
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Sul tuo fondo,
in un luogo nascosto,
hanno sepolto un aureo tesoro,
l'oro dei Nibelunghi.
Lo custodiscono le tue onde
fino alla fine del tempo,
fino a quel luogo segreto
nessun ladro può arrivare.
Anche nel mio cuore è nascosto
un tesoro, come nel Reno,
è sommerso nel profondo,
e là resterà in eterno.
