Dämmern Wolken über Nacht und Thal, Nebel schweben. Wasser rauschen sacht. Nun entschleiert sich's mit einem Mal: O gieb acht! gieb acht! Weites Wunderland ist aufgethan, Silbern ragen Berge traumhaft gross, Stille Pfade silberlicht thalan Aus verborg'nem Schoss. Und die hehre Welt so traumhaft rein. Stummer Buchenbaum am Wege steht Schattenschwarz -- ein Hauch vom fernen Hain Einsam leise [geht]1. Und aus tiefen Grundes Düsterheit Blinken Lichter auf in [stumme]2 Nacht. Trinke Seele! trinke Einsamkeit! O gieb acht! gieb acht!

Descem nuvens sobre a noite e o vale, A neblina flutua, a água murmura suavemente. Então de repente tudo se descortina: Oh, tenha cuidado! Tenha cuidado! Um vasto país de maravilhas se abre; Montanhas prateadas se elevam, fantasticamente altas, Silenciosas trilhas banhadas na luz de prata levam ao vale, Nascidas de algum lugar misterioso; E o mundo majestoso resplandece em pureza de sonhos. Uma quieta faia se alça à beira da estrada, Negra como uma sombra, um alento de um vale distante, Balouça solitária ao vento. E do âmago da profunda escuridão Brilham luzes na noite silenciosa. Beba, alma! Beba, solidão! Oh, tenha cuidado! Tenha cuidado!

Auf geheimem Waldespfade Schleich' ich gern im Abendschein An das öde Schilfgestade, Mädchen, und gedenke dein! Wenn sich dann der Busch verdüstert, Rauscht das Rohr geheimnisvoll, Und es klaget und es flüstert, Daß ich weinen, weinen soll. Und ich mein', ich höre wehen Leise deiner Stimme Klang, Und im Weiher untergehen Deinen lieblichen Gesang.

Quando então a floresta escurece Os juncos murmuram misteriosamente, E lamentam, e sussurram, De tal forma que choro, choro. E é como se eu ouvisse ao vento Docemente o som da sua voz,

Tudo aconteceu porque o rouxinol Seguiu cantando a noite inteira; Então, de seu doce som, Do seu chamado e de seu eco, As rosas se abriram. Outrora ela tem sido uma jovem selvagem, Anda agora mergulhada em pensamentos, Leva nas mãos o seu chapéu de verão, Suportando conformada o calor do sol, E não sabe mais o que fazer. Tudo aconteceu porque o rouxinol Seguiu cantando a noite inteira; Então, de seu doce som, Do seu chamado e de seu eco, As rosas se abriram.

Das war der Tag der weißen Chrysanthemen, -- mir bangte fast vor seiner Pracht... Und dann, dann kamst du mir die Seele nehmen tief in der Nacht. Mir war so bang, und du kamst lieb und leise, -- ich hatte grad im Traum an dich gedacht. Du kamst, und leis wie eine Märchenweise erklang die Nacht....

Este foi o dia dos brancos crisântemos, Eu quase que temia sua formosura... E então, então tu vieste tomar a minha alma Dentro da noite profunda. Eu tinha tanto medo, e tu vieste doce e em silêncio, Eu tinha acabado de pensar em ti, em sonhos, Tu vieste, e como em uma canção de contos de fadas Ressoava a noite.

Herbstsonnenschein. Der liebe Abend blickt so still herein. Ein Feuerlein rot Knistert im Ofenloch und loht. So, mein Kopf auf deinen Knie'n, So ist mir gut. Wenn mein Auge so in deinem ruht, Wie leise die Minuten zieh'n.

Im Arm der Liebe schliefen wir selig ein, Am offnen Fenster lauschte der Sommerwind, Und unsrer Atemzüge Frieden Trug er hinaus in die helle Mondnacht. -- Und aus dem Garten tastete zagend sich Ein Rosenduft an unserer Liebe Bett Und gab uns wundervolle Träume, Träume des Rausches -- so reich an Sehnsucht!

Nos braços do amor adormecemos tranqüilos; Pela janela aberta a brisa de verão nos ouvia, Levando a paz da nossa respiração Para longe, em direção ao claro luar. E do jardim se esgueirava tímido Um perfume de rosas em direção à nossa cama de amor E nos oferecia sonhos maravilhosos, Sonhos embevecidos, tão ricos de saudade.

Nun ziehen Tage über die Welt, Gesandt aus blauer Ewigkeit, Im Sommerwind verweht die Zeit. Nun windet nächtens der Herr Sternenkränze mit seliger Hand Über Wander- und Wunderland. O Herz, was kann in diesen Tagen Dein hellstes Wanderlied denn sagen Von deiner tiefen, tiefen Lust: Im Wiesensang verstummt die Brust, Nun schweigt das Wort, wo Bild um Bild Zu dir zieht und dich ganz erfüllt.

Agora passam dias sobre a terra, Dias enviados pela eternidade azul, Na brisa de verão o tempo se desfaz. À noite, o Senhor trança Uma guirlanda de estrelas com mão abençoada Por sobre a terra de errantes e de maravilhas. Ó coração, o que poderá falar nestes dias A tua canção errante mais viva Deste desejo profundo, profundo: Na canção das pradarias cala-se o peito, Silencia a palavra agora, onde visão após visão Te atingem, e te preenchem por inteiro.
