Pe marea lină
Language: Romanian (Română)
Pe marea lină Care suspină Stelele toate plutesc ușor. De ce, drăguță, A mea steluță, Lipsești tu numai din horul lor. Dintre canaluri, Și de pe maluri Se nalță-un cântic melodios. De ce, Niniță, A ta guriță Nu se aude cântând voios? Tainica noapte Cu blânde șoapte Te cheamă, dragă, s-o încununi. Gondola geme, Căci multă vreme N-a fost cu tine printre laguni. Ah! te coboară Vesel, ușoară, Dintr' al tău negru palat regesc. Vin' de zâmbește, De strălucește Ca un luceafăr dumnezeiesc.

Barcarole
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Romanian (Română)
Aus ewiger Ferne spiegeln die Sterne alle im Meere sich schön und rein, nur dich vergebens, Stern meines Lebens, ich suche sehnend nur dich allein. Über den Wogen kommt mir gezogen lieblich ein holder Gesang empor; warum, du Süße, nur deine Grüße erklingen nimmer dem frohen Ohr? Es flüstert so leise heimlicher Weise schmeichelnd die liebliche Sommernacht; es seufzet bangend, nach dir verlangend, das Meer in seiner erhab'nen Pracht. O kehre wieder, steige hernieder, einzig Geliebte, aus deinem Schloss! Denn im Verlangen nach dir befangen entflieh'n die Tage mir hoffnungslos.
