An jeder Hand die Finger
hatt' ich bedeckt mit Ringen,

Le dita delle mie mani

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Le dita delle mie mani
erano tutte adorne di anelli,
regalati da mio fratello
in segno del suo affetto.
E io, uno dopo l'altro,
li ho dati a quel fascinoso, 
ma indegno, giovinetto.
