Serenadă
Language: Romanian (Română)
Neguri dese, tenebroase Trec peste pămênt, Noapte mai intunecoasă Zace pe-al meu gând. Lună tu, cu blânde raze! Lună ce aştept, Vin, ah! vino, luminează Noaptea mea din pept. N'auzi vocea-mi cum şopteşte Plângeri de amor, O! te-arată, fericeşte Pe-un biet cântător, Vocea mea tânguitoare La vederea ta Intr'un cânt de desfătare Dulce s'ar schimba. Lună tu, cu blânde raze, Lună ce aştept, Vin, ah! vino, luminează Noaptea mea din pept!

Serenade
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Romanian (Română)
[Dichter düst'rer Nebel gleitet]1 Auf der Erden hin; Dunkler liegt die Nacht gebreitet Über meinem Sinn. Mond mit sanften Strahlenwellen, Komm, ach! komm! Du mußt Ja die tiefe Nacht erhellen Hier in meiner Brust. Höre mich, im Liebesharme Klagen, flüstern dir! Zeige dich! Es harrt der arme Sänger deiner hier. Meiner Stimme traurig' Klingen - Hörst du nur mich an - Löst in süßes Freudensingen Sich, in Wohllaut dann. Mond mit sanften Strahlenwellen, Komm, ach komm! Du mußt Ja die tiefe Nacht erhellen Hier in meiner Brust.
