Our translations: CAT ENG FRE ITA
Ach, des Knaben Augen sind
Mir so schön und klar erschienen,
Und ein Etwas strahlt aus ihnen,
Das mein ganzes Herz gewinnt.
Blickt' er doch mit diesen süßen
Augen nach den meinen hin!
Säh' er dann sein Bild darin,
Würd' er wohl mich liebend grüßen.
Und so geb' ich ganz mich hin,
Seinen Augen nur zu dienen,
Denn ein Etwas strahlt aus ihnen,
Das mein ganzes Herz gewinnt.

Ah, gli occhi di un fanciullo
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Ah, gli occhi di un fanciullo,
mi appaiono così belli e chiari,
qualcosa in essi risplende,
che il cuore tutto mi prende.
Se con questi occhi così dolci,
scrutasse dentro i miei!
La sua immagine vi troverebbe,
e con amore mi saluterebbe!
Tutto mi dedicherei allora,
a corrispondere al suo sguardo,
perché qualcosa in esso risplende
che il cuore tutto mi prende.
