Süßes Begräbniss
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG FRE ITA
Schäferin, [o]1 wie haben
Sie dich so süß begraben!
Alle Lüfte haben gestöhnet,
Maienglocken zu Grab dir getönet,
Glühwurm wollte die Fackel tragen,
Stern ihm selbst es tät versagen.
Nacht ging schwarz in Trauerfloren,
Und all ihre Schatten gingen in Chören
Die Tränen wird dir das Morgenrot weinen,
Und den Segen die Sonn' aufs Grab dir scheinen.
Schäferin, ach, wie haben
Sie dich so süß begraben!

Dolce sepoltura
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Pastorella, ah, con quanta dolce cura
ti hanno dato sepoltura!
Sembrava gemere il vento,
le campanule suonavano a morto,
Le lucciole volevano portare facelle,
non lo hanno voluto le stelle.
Calò la sera con il suo velo nero,
e tutte le sue ombre si unirono in coro.
L'aurora per te si scioglierà in pianto,
il sole benedirà la tua tomba con il suo raggio.
Pastorella, ah, con quanta dolce cura
ti hanno dato sepoltura!
