Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Zu meinen Füßen [wiegst]¹ du dich
O heimatliches Meer!
[Ich rufe dir:]² Triumph! Triumph!
[Und schwinge Schild]³ und Speer.

Mycene ehrt als König mich,
Beut meinem Wirken Raum,
Und über [meinen]⁴ Scheitel saus't
Des Lebens [reicher]⁵ Baum.

Mit morgendlichen Rosen schmückt
Der Frühling meine Bahn,
Und auf der Liebe Wellen schwebt
Dahin [der leichte]⁶ Kahn.

Diana naht! o Retterin,
Erhöre du mein Fleh'n!
Laß mich - das Höchste [ward mir ja]⁷ -
[Nun zu den]⁸ Vätern geh'n!

Oreste assolto

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

Ai miei piedi ti frangi, 
mare della mia patria, 
e mormori dolcemente: trionfo, trionfo! 
Io agito spada e lancia. 

Micene mi onora come re, 
concede spazio alle mie azioni, 
e su di me stormisce 
l'albero d'oro della vita. 

Con le rose del mattino orna 
la primavera il mio cammino, 
e sulle onde dell'amore si libra 
di qua la mia leggera barca. 

Si avvicina Diana: o Salvatrice, 
ascolta la mia preghiera! 
Lasciami, è la cosa che più desidero, 
andare dai miei Padri!
