Ist's dein Wille, süße Maid,
Meinem heißen Liebesstreben
Erst im Tode Raum zu geben,
O da wart' ich lange Zeit!

Soll ich deine Gunst genießen
Erst nach meinem Erdengange,
Währt mein Leben allzulange!
Mag es gleich um Nu zerfließen!

Ist's dein Wille, süße Maid,

O das ist gar lange Zeit, gar zu lange Zeit!

Serenata da Don Juan
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
È la tua volontà, dolce fanciulla,
Che il mio ardente anelito d'amore
Abbia compenso solo nella morte,
Ah quanto a lungo aspetterò!
 
Potrò godere del tuo favore
Solo dopo la mia dipartita,
La mia vita dura molto a lungo!
Potesse invece sfumare a breve!
 
È la tua volontà, dolce fanciulla,
Che il mio ardente anelito d'amore
Abbia compenso solo nella morte,
Ah è davvero un tempo troppo lungo!
