Vier erotische Madrigale
Translations © by Bertram Kottmann
Song Cycle by Joaquín Rodrigo Vidre (1901 - 1999)
View original-language texts alone: Cuatro madrigales amatorios
¿Con qué la lavaré la tez de la mi cara? ¿Con qué la lavaré, Que vivo mal penada? Lávanse las casadas con agua de limones: lávome yo, cuitada, con penas y dolores.
Womit kann ich sie netzen, die Haut meines Gesichts? Womit kann ich mich netzen, ich, die im Kummer lebt? Essenz von der Zitrone netzt den Teint der Ehefrauen, doch ich in meinem Elend bade in Leid und Schmerz.

Vos me matásteis, niña en cabello, vos me habéis muerto. Riberas de un río ví moza vírgen, Niña en cabello, vos me matásteis, Niña en cabello, vos me habéis muerto.
Du hast mich umgebracht, Mädchen im Flatterhaar, du hast mir den Tod gebracht. Drunten am Flussgestade hab ich dich gesehen, schöne Jungfrau, Mädchen im Flatterhaar, du hast mich umgebracht, Mädchen im Flatterhaar, du hast mir den Tod gebracht.

¿De dónde venís, amore? Bien sé yo de dónde. ¿De dónde venís, amigo? Fuere yo testigo!
Wo kommst du her, mein Liebes? Ich weiß es wohl, woher. Wo kommst du her, mein Liebes? Ich würd’ es gern bezeugen.

De los álamos vengo, madre, de ver cómo los menea el aire. De los álamos de Sevilla, de ver a mi linda amiga,
Von den Pappeln komm’ ich, Mutter, zu sehn, wie sie im Winde schwanken. Von den Pappeln in Sevilla wo ich meine schöne Freundin sah.
