Als wir schieden, da war's am Himmel stürmisch und trübe,
Lag die Erde [so]1 kalt, schwiegen die Vögel im Tal.
Jahre schwanden indes, noch stürmt mir immer der Himmel,
Liegt die Erde mir kalt, singt mir kein Vogel im Tal.

Congedo
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Quando ci dicemmo addio il cielo era tempestoso e cupo.
Fredda la terra; senza canto d'uccelli la valle.
Sono passati gli anni, ma per me tutto è rimasto eguale:
cupo il cielo, fredda la terra, muta la valle.
