Io son venuta a farvi serenata, Padron di casa, se contento siete. So che ci avete una giovin garbata: Dentro le vostre mura la tenete. E se per sorte fosse addormentata Questo da parte mia voi le direte: Che ci è passato un suo caro servente, Che giorno e notte la tiene in mente. Tra giorno e notte son ventiquattr'ore; E venticinque la tengo nel core.

Ein Ständchen Euch zu bringen kam ich her, Wenn es dem Herrn vom Haus nicht ungelegen. Ihr habt ein schönes Töchterlein. Es wär' Wohl gut, sie nicht zu streng im Haus zu hegen. Und liegt sie schon im Bett, so bitt' ich sehr, Thut es zu wissen ihr von meinetwegen, Daß ihr Getreuer hier vorbeigekommen, Der Tag und Nacht sie in den Sinn genommen, Und daß am Tag, der vierundzwanzig zählt, Sie fünfundzwanzig Stunden lang mir fehlt.
