Kvinneliv og -elskov
Song Cycle by Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856)
View original-language texts alone: Frauenliebe und -Leben
Seit ich ihn gesehen, Glaub' ich blind zu sein; Wo ich hin nur blicke, Seh' ich ihn allein; Wie im wachen Traume Schwebt sein Bild mir vor, Taucht aus tiefstem Dunkel, Heller nur empor. Sonst ist licht- und farblos Alles um mich her, Nach der Schwestern Spiele Nicht begehr' ich mehr, Möchte lieber weinen, Still im Kämmerlein; Seit ich ihn gesehen, Glaub' ich blind zu sein.

Siden jeg så ham, har jeg vært blind for alt annet. Uansett hvor jeg vender blikket, ser jeg kun ham; Som i en våken drøm svever hans bilde for mine øyne, Dukket opp fra det dypeste mørke, Og stadig lysere oppover. Alt rundt meg er fargeløst og uten lys. Å leke med mine søstre gir meg ikke lenger noen lyst, Heller ønsker jeg å gråte - stille -- i mitt værelse; Siden jeg så ham, har jeg vært blind for alt annet.

Er, der Herrlichste von allen, Wie so milde, wie so gut! Holde Lippen, klares Auge, Heller Sinn und fester Muth. So wie dort in blauer Tiefe, Hell und herrlich, jener Stern, Also er an meinem Himmel, Hell und herrlich, [hoch]1 und fern. Wandle, wandle deine Bahnen; Nur betrachten deinen Schein, Nur in Demuth ihn betrachten, Selig [nur]2 und traurig sein! Höre nicht mein stilles Beten, Deinem Glücke nur geweiht; Darfst mich niedre Magd nicht kennen, Hoher Stern der Herrlichkeit! Nur die Würdigste von allen [Soll]3 beglücken deine Wahl, Und ich will die Hohe segnen, [Segnen]4 viele tausend Mal. Will mich freuen dann und weinen, Selig, selig bin ich dann, Sollte mir das Herz auch brechen, Brich, o Herz, was liegt daran.

Han, den herligste av alle, så mild, så god! Vakre lepper, klare øyne, et lyst sinn og et stødig mot. Som der oppe i de blå dybder, lys og herlig -- enhver stjerne, slik er han på min himmel, lys og herlig, opphøyd og fjern. Vandre, ja vandre i dine baner, la meg kun betrakte ditt skinn, kun i ydmykhet å få betrakte ham, være salig og atter trist! Hør ikke min stille bønn, tenk kun på din egen lykke; Du får ikke kjenne meg, en nedrig kvinne, du herlighetens høye stjerne! Kun den mest verdige av alle får gjøre ditt valg lykkelig, Og den opphøyde vil jeg velsigne mange tusen ganger. Da vil jeg glede meg og gråte, jeg vil være salig, ja salig; Og om mitt hjerte skulle briste - Brist, o hjerte, hva ville vel det bety?

Ich kann's nicht fassen, nicht glauben, Es hat ein Traum mich berückt; Wie hätt' er doch unter allen Mich Arme erhöht und beglückt? Mir war's, er habe gesprochen: Ich bin auf ewig dein -- Mir war's -- ich träume noch immer, Es kann ja nimmer so sein. O laß im Traume mich sterben, Gewieget an seiner Brust, Den [seligsten]1 Tod mich schlürfen In Thränen unendlicher Lust.

Jeg kan ikke fatte det, ikke tro det, en drøm har forhekset meg; Hvordan kunne han arme meg -- blant alle -- opphøye og lykkeliggjøre? Det virket som om han sa: »Jeg er for evig din,« Det virker som om jeg fremdeles drømmer, dette kan jo ikke være sant. Å, la meg få dø i denne drømmen, hvilende ved hans bryst, La den mest salige død få drikke meg i tårer av uendelig lyst.

Du Ring an meinem Finger, Mein [goldnes]1 Ringelein, Ich drücke dich fromm an die Lippen, Dich fromm an das Herze mein.

Du ring på min finger, min lille gylne ring, deg trykker jeg fromt mot mine lepper, fromt mot mitt hjerte. Jeg ble ferdig med å drømme barndommens fredelige og vakre drøm, Jeg fant kun meg selv - tapt i et øde og uendelig rom. Du ring på min finger - der belærte du meg for første gang, åpnet mitt blikk for livets uendelige, dype verdi. Jeg vil tjene ham, leve med ham, tilhøre ham, helt og fullt. Gi meg selv hen og finne meg forklaret i hans glans. Du ring på min finger, min lille gylne ring, deg trykker jeg fromt mot mine lepper, fromt mot mitt hjerte.

Helft mir, ihr Schwestern, Freundlich mich schmücken, Dient der Glücklichen heute mir. Windet geschäftig Mir um die Stirne Noch der blühenden Myrte Zier.

Hjelp meg, mine søstre, med vennlig å pynte meg, Tjen meg som i dag er den lykkelige, Bind travelt om min panne smykker av fremdeles blomstrende myrt. Mens jeg ennå fornøyd, med et lykkelig hjerte, lå i armene til min elskede, kallet han, med lengsel i hjertet, utålmodig etter denne dagen. Hjelp meg, mine søstre, Hjelp meg å fordrive en tåpelig engstelse, slik at jeg med klare øyne kan ta imot ham, Ham, alle gleders kilde. Kommer, min elskede, du for mine øyne? Gir du meg, sol, ditt skinn? La meg i andakt, La meg i ydmykhet, Bøye meg for min herre. Strø for ham, søstre, Strø blomster for ham, Bring ham rosenknopper, Men dere, søstre, hilser jeg med vemod, idet jeg lykkelig skilles fra deres skare.

Süßer Freund, du blickest
Mich verwundert an,
Kannst es nicht begreifen,
Wie ich weinen kann;
Laß der feuchten Perlen
Ungewohnte Zier
[Freudenhell erzittern
In den Wimpern mir]1.
Wie so bang mein Busen,
Wie so wonnevoll!
Wüßt' ich nur mit Worten,
Wie ich's sagen soll;
Komm und [birg]2 dein Antlitz
Hier an meiner Brust,
Will in's Ohr dir flüstern
Alle meine Lust.
Weißt du nun die Thränen,
Die ich weinen kann?
Sollst du nicht sie sehen,
Du geliebter Mann;
Bleib' an meinem Herzen,
Fühle dessen Schlag,
Daß ich fest und fester
Nur dich drücken mag.
[ ... ]
Hier an meinem Bette
Hat die Wiege Raum,
Wo sie still verberge
Meinen holden Traum;
Kommen wird der Morgen,
Wo der Traum erwacht,
Und daraus dein Bildniß
Mir [entgegen lacht]3.

Søte venn, du ser så forundret på meg, du kan ikke begripe hvordan jeg kan gråte; La de fuktige perlenes uvante utsmykning lykkelig lyst skjelve i mitt øye. Hvor engstelig, mitt bryst, hvor håpefull! Hvis jeg kun med ord visste hvordan jeg skulle si det; Kom og gjem ditt åsyn her ved mitt bryst, I ditt øre vil jeg hviske all min lyst. Her ved min seng er det plass for vuggen, der gjemmer den stille min vakre drøm; Morgenen vil komme hvor drømmen våkner, og fra vuggen vil ditt bilde le imot meg.

Til mitt hjerte og til mitt bryst, Du er min glede, du er min lyst! Lykken er kjærligheten, kjærligheten er lykken, det har jeg sagt og vil ikke ta tilbake. Jeg anså meg selv overstadig, men ser nå at jeg er overlykkelig. Bare hun som dier, bare hun elsker barnet, som hun gir næring til. Kun en mor vet hva det betyr å elske og være lykkelig. Å, hvor jeg føler med mannen som ikke kan føle morslykke! Du kjære, kjære lille engel, du ser på meg og smiler!

Nun hast du mir den ersten Schmerz gethan, Der aber traf. Du schläfst, du harter, unbarmherz'ger Mann, Den Todesschlaf. Es blicket die Verlass'ne vor sich hin, Die Welt ist leer. Geliebet hab' ich und gelebt, ich bin Nicht lebend mehr. Ich zieh' mich in mein Inn'res still zurück, Der Schleier fällt, Da hab' ich dich und mein [vergang'nes]1 Glück, Du meine Welt!

Note: modernized spelling would change "gethan" to "getan".
Note (provided by Iain Sneddon) : Loewe's song is not part of his opus 60. His song cycle titled Frauenliebe ends peacefully with married bliss: 'Du meine wonne, du mein Lust!'. Loewe happened to set the remaining poems (this one was only a sketch) and Max Runze was correct to include these unpublished songs in his complete edition in the positions they would have occupied if Loewe had wanted to include them, so they may be considered to be part of the extended cycle, but not opus 60.
1 Loewe, Schumann: "verlornes"Research team for this page: Emily Ezust [Administrator] , Bertram Kottmann
Nå har du for første gang såret meg, og til gjengjeld -- dypt. Du sover -- harde, ubarmhjertige mann -- dødens søvn. Den forlatte stirrer framfor seg, verden er tom. Jeg har elsket og levd, nå er jeg ikke lenger i live. Til mitt indres stillhet trekker jeg meg tilbake, sløret faller, der har jeg deg og min tapte lykke, du min verden!
