Come un sogno d'or scolpito è nel core. Il ricordo ancor di quell'amore che non esiste più. Fu la sua vision qual dolce sorriso che più lieta fa, col suo brillar, la nostra gioventù. Ma fu molto breve in me la dolcezza di quel ben... svanì quell bel sogno d'or lasciando in me il dolor. Cupo è l'avvenir, sempre più tristi i dì... la gioventù passata sarà rimpianto mi resta sol, sì ... Rimpianto amaro e duol' nel cuor! Oh raggio di sole, Sul mio cammino ahimè, non brilli più. Mai più, mai più!

Wie ein goldener Traum ins Herz gegossen ist noch die Erinnerung an jene Liebe, die erloschen ist. Es war ihr Anblick, welch süßes Lächeln, das mit seinem Strahlen die Tage unserer Jugend heiterer machte. Aber sie verblieb mir sehr kurze Zeit, die Süße, die sich gewiss auflöste in diesen schönen goldenen Traum, und den Schmerz in mir zurückließ. Düster ist die Zukunft, immer trauriger wird die verflossene Jugendzeit zur Wehmut, die einzig mir verbleibt, Welch bitterer Schmerz, welch Kummer im Herzen! O Strahl der Sonne, nicht länger erleuchtest du meinen Weg, nimmermehr, niemals mehr.
