Herzeleid
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Die Weiden lassen matt die Zweige hangen,
Und traurig ziehn die Wasser hin:
Sie schaute starr hinab mit bleichen Wangen,
Die unglückselge Träumerin.
Und ihr entfiel ein Strauss von Immortellen,
Er war so schwer von Tränen ja,
Und leise warnend lispelten die Wellen:
Ophelia, Ophelia!

Crepacuore
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Pendono deboli i rami del salice
E triste l'acqua lontano la trascina;
fisso è il suo sguardo, pallido il suo viso,
la sognatrice senza fortuna.
Dalle sue mani sfugge un mazzo di elicriso,
appesantito dal pianto e dal dolore,
paiono le onde, in gentile lamento,
"Ofelia... Ofelia!" a lungo sussurrare.
