Und wie sie niederwärts sich schwingt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Tenor-Solo
Und wie sie niederwärts sich schwingt,
Eine Schar von Peris sie umringt:
Chor
Peri, ist's wahr,
Daß du in den Himmel willst?
Genügt dir nicht
Das Sonnenlicht
Und Sterne, Mond und Erde?
Peri, ist's wahr,
Daß du in den Himmel willst?
So nimm uns eilig mit.
Bariton-Solo
Mit ihrer Schwestern Worten wächst ihr Schmerz,
Schwer ist ihr Fittich, trüb' ihr Herz;
Freudlos sieht sie die Sonn' sich neigen
Dort hinterm Tempel, einst ihr eigen,
Des Säulen, hoch und einsam, weit
Die Schatten breiten durch die Au'n.

Y mientras desciende
Language: Spanish (Español) after the German (Deutsch)
Tenor
Y mientras desciende,
un cortejo de Peris la rodea:
Coro
¿Peri, es verdad
que quieres ir al Cielo?
No te deleitan
la luz del Sol
y las estrellas, la Luna y la Tierra?
¿Peri, es verdad
que quieres ir al Cielo?
Llévanos entonces ya contigo.
Baritono
Con las palabras de sus hermanas creció su dolor,
y pesadas sus alas, apenado el corazón,
triste ve el Sol que se pone
tras el templo, otrora el suyo,
cuyas columnas, altas y solitarias,
vierten largas sombras sobre el prado.
