Tenor-Solo So sann sie nach und schwang die Flügel Jetzt über Indiens Blumenhügel. Vokalquartett O süßes Land! O Götterpracht! Es flüstern die Palmen sacht, Es flimmert die Sternennacht, Dort schäumt auf Bernsteingrund das Meer Über Korallenriffe her, Dort brütet heiß der Sonne Brand, Im Schoß der Berge Diamant, Es rieseln, reichen Bräuten gleich, Die Bächlein hold an Golde reich, Dort duften Sandelhaine süß O Paradies!

Tenore solo Erano questi i suoi pensieri, e agitò le ali in volo sui colli fioriti dell'India. Quartetto vocale O dolce paese! Di splendore divino! Stormiscono lievi i palmizi, la notte di stelle scintilla, là il mare sul suo fondo d'ambra spumeggia tra banchi di corallo, là il fuoco rovente del sole cova diamanti nel seno dei monti, scorrono, simili a spose generose, ruscelli incantevoli ricchi d'oro, profumano dolcemente di sandalo i boschetti - O Paradiso!
