Turteltaube, du klagest so laut

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: DUT ITA

Turteltaube, du klagest so laut
Und raubest dem Armen seinen einzigen Trost,
Süßen vergessenden Schlaf.
Turteltaub', ich jammre wie du,
Und berge den Jammer in's verwundete Herz,
In die verschlossene Brust.
Ach, die hart verteilende Liebe!
Sie gab dir die laute Jammerklage zum Trost,
Mir den verstummenden Gram!

Il forte lamento

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

Colomba, tu piangi così forte
E togli al povero la sua unica consolazione,
Il dolce sonno dell'oblio.
Colomba, io mi lamento come te,
Ed occulto il mio lamento nel cuore ferito,
Nel petto serrato.
Ah, come sono ingiusti i doni dell'amore!
A te ha dato il forte lamento come consolazione,
A me questa silenziosa pena!
