Auf ihrem Grab, da steht eine Linde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Auf ihrem Grab, da steht eine Linde,
Drin pfeifen die Vögel [und]1 Abendwinde,
Und [drunter sitzt, auf dem grünen]2 Platz,
[Der]3 Müllersknecht mit seinem Schatz.

Die [Winde, die wehen so lind]4 und so schaurig,
Die [Vögel, die singen]5 so süß und [so]6 traurig:
Die schwatzenden Buhlen, [die]7 werden stumm,
Sie weinen und wissen selbst nicht warum.

Cresce un tiglio presso la loro tomba
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Cresce un tiglio presso la loro tomba,
dove fischiano i venti e gli uccelli di sera,
lì sotto sta seduto sopra un verde prato
il garzone del mugnaio con il suo bene amato.

Soffiano i venti, leggeri e sinistri,
soave e triste è degli uccelli il canto,
si fanno muti i sussurri degli amanti,
che, senza capire perché, si sciolgono in pianto.
