Translation by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)
Am Sonntag Morgen, zierlich angethan
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Am Sonntag Morgen, zierlich angethan, Wohl weiß ich, wo du da bist hingegangen, Und manche Leute waren, die dich sahn, Und kamen dann zu mir, dich zu verklagen. Als sie mir's sagten, hab' ich laut gelacht Und in der Kammer dann geweint [zu]1 Nacht. Als sie mir's sagten, fing ich an zu singen, Um einsam dann die Hände wund zu ringen.
