Our translations: FRE ITA
Die Liebste sprach: 'Ich halt dich nicht,
Du hast mir nichts geschworn.
Die Menschen soll man halten nicht,
Sind nicht zur Treu geborn.
Zieh deine Straßen hin, mein Freund,
Beschau dir Land um Land,
In vielen Betten ruh dich aus,
Viel Frauen nimm bei der Hand.
Wo dir der Wein zu sauer ist,
Da trink du Malvasier,
Und wenn mein Mund dir süßer ist,
So komm nur wieder zu mir !'

Non ti trattengo, disse all'amato
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
"Non ti trattengo" , disse all'amato,
"nulla tu mi hai giurato.
Gli uomini non vanno legati,
fedeli non sono nati.
Esplora, amico mio, paesi e paesi
per le tue strade va' pure lontano,
in tanti letti riposa,
molte donne prendi per mano.
E dove il vino ha un aspro sapore
Sorseggia Malvasia,
E se più dolce è la mia bocca per te
Allora ritorna da me!"
