Povera me!
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Povera me che non pensavo al fine, quando di voi mi presi a innamorare, e non guardai a dir: "son poverina," che da' vostri occhi mi lasciai legare! io mi lasciai legar ed era sciolta, merito questo e peggio un'altra volta. Povera me che non pensavo al fine, quando di voi mi presi a innamorare! Sento la morte, e la vedo venire, la vedo che mi prende per mano, e l'uscio della chiesa vedo aprire, sento suonar a morte le campane; Quando m'incontri, fallo il pianto amaro, Ricordati di me, quando t'amavo. Quando m'incontri, volgi i passi indietro, Ricordati di me quand' era teco!

Die Unglückliche
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
O weh' mir Armen! meine Freuden verblühen! Ich sollte weit, sollte weit von dir fliehen; Vor deiner Liebe thät keiner mich warnen, Von deinen Augen liess ich mich umgarnen, Liess mich umgarnen, glaubt' an deine Treue Ach, und zu spät, zu spät kam die Reue; Vor deiner Liebe thät mich keiner warnen, Von deinen Augen liess ich mich umgarnen. Es naht der Tod mir, o ich fühl' es mit Bangen, Bald werden bleichen, werden bleichen die Wangen; Die Leute seh ich schon zur Kirche wallen, Schon hör' ich, wie die Todtenglocken hallen. Dann wirst du trauernd deine Blicke senken, Wirst meiner heissen Liebe gedenken. Dann wird mein Bild deinem Blicke erscheinen, Dann gedenkst du, gedenkst du mein mit Weinen.
