An Chloë
When love shines from your blue, bright, open eyes, and with the pleasure of gazing into them my heart pounds and glows;
And I hold you and kiss your rosy, warm cheeks; lovely maiden, and I clasp you trembling in my arms!
Maiden, maiden, and I press you firmly to my breast, which at the last moment, only at death, will let you go;
Then my intoxicated gaze is cast in shadows by a gloomy cloud, and I sit then, exhausted, but blissful, next to you.
Original text by Johann Georg Jacobi

Ridente la calma
May a happy calm arise in my soul and may neither a bit of anger nor fear survive in it.
In the meantime you are coming, my beloved, to grasp those sweet chains that make my heart so grateful.
May a happy calm arise in my soul and may neither anger nor fear survive in it.

Un moto di gioja
A feeling of joy I feel in my heart that announces happiness is coming in spite of my fears!
Let us hope that the worry will end in contentment.
Fate and love are not always tyrants.
Original text by Lorenzo Da Ponte English translation by Alexa Burnston
Amor y odio
I thought I could conceal my sorrow
So that it might be so deep As to be imperceptible to the world: This secret love that a roguish man Enkindled in my soul.
And it wasn't because he glimpsed The grief hidden within me. But it was in vain that he glimpsed it And did not separate himself From that which he loved.
And this is the punishment I now suffer: To feel my soul filled with love For one who has forgotten me,
Without an encouraging light
To pierce the shadows Of my life.

La maja dolorosa No. 2
Ah, man of my life, No, no - you haven’t died! How could I continue to exist If this were true?
I want, irrationally, to kiss your mouth! I want, truly, to cast my lot with yours, Ah, with yours!
Ah! Still I rant and dream; My man no longer exits. All about me the world Is weeping and sad. For my sorrow there is no consolation! Even dead and cold, my man will be mine, Ah, always mine.

El tra la la y el punteado
It is in vain, my boy, that you go on talking, For there are things to which I ever answer in song. Tra la la...
No matter how many times you ask: Tra la la...
You cause me no grief And I will not cease to sing. tra la la...

Geistliches Wiegenlied
You who hover
Around these palms
In night and wind,
You holy angels, Silence the treetops, My child is sleeping. You palms of Bethlehem
In the roaring wind, How can you today Bluster so angrily! O roar not so!
Be still, bow
Softly and gently; Silence the treetops! My child is sleeping.
The child of heaven
Endures the discomfort, Oh, how tired he has become Of earthly sorrow.
Oh, now in sleep, Gently softened,
His pain fades, Silence the treetops!
My child is sleeping.
Fierce cold Comes rushing, How shall I cover The little child's limbs?
O all you angels, You winged ones Wandering in the wind. Silence the treetops! My child is sleeping.
