Melancholie
Translations © by Salvador Pila
Song Cycle by Paul Hindemith (1895 - 1963)
View original-language texts alone: Melancholie
«Die Primeln blühn und grüßen so lieblich mir zu Füßen, die Amsel singt so laut. Die Sonne scheint so helle -- nur ich weiß eine Stelle, dahin kein Himmel blaut.» -- Feins Kind, mußt nicht so sagen! Es bringt der Himmelswagen auch deiner Brust den Tag. Es wird auch Deine Seele der lieben Vogelkehle gleichtun mit lautem Schlag. «Die Primeln blühn und grüßen so lieblich mir zu Füßen, die Amsel singt so laut. die Sonne scheint so helle --. Mein freundlicher Geselle, mir ward viel Leid vertraut.»

« Les prímules floreixen i em saluden tan gentilment als peus, la merla canta tan fort. El sol brilla tan lluminós - - només jo conec un lloc on cap cel hi blaveja.» - - Xamós infant, això no ho has de dir! L'Óssa Major porta el dia també al teu cor. La teva ànima fins i tot igualarà l'estimada gorja de l'ocell amb sorollós refilet. « Les prímules floreixen i em saluden tan gentilment als peus, la merla canta tan fort. El sol brilla tan lluminós - - Estimat company meu, molt sofriment m'ha estat confiat.»

Der Nebelweber webt im Wald ein weißes Hemd für sein Gemahl. Die steht wie eine Birke schmal in einem grauen Felsenspalt. Im Winde schauert leis und bebt ihr dämmergrünes Lockenlaub. Sie lässt ihr Zittern ihm als Raub. Der Nebelweber webt und webt...

El teixidor de boira teixeix en el bosc una camisa blanca per a la seva esposa. Ella està dreta, com un bedoll esprimatxat, en una grisa escletxa de roca. Al vent, s'estremeix lleugerament i tremola el seu rinxolat fullam de color verd fosc. Ella li deixa el seu tremolor com botí. El teixidor de boira teixeix i teixeix...

Gota fosca, la que m'ha caigut avui a la copa, a la copa de la vida, gota fosca de la mort - Em vols enterbolir el meu vi clar - cal que fatigat el begui - fatigat -- fatigat - de la vida? Gota fosca, la que m'ha caigut avui a la copa, a la copa de la joia, gota fosca de la mort.

Des Vogels Aug verschleiert sich; Er sinkt in Schlaf auf seinem Baum. Der Wald verwandelt sich in Traum Und wird so tief und feierlich. Der Mond, der stille, steigt empor: Die kleine Kehle zwitschert matt. Im ganzen Walde schwingt kein Blatt. Fern läutet, fern, der Sterne Chor.

Els ulls de l'ocell es tanquen; s'adorm en el seu arbre. El bosc es transforma en somni i esdevé profund i solemne. La lluna, silenciosa s'enlaira: la petita gorja refila esllanguida. A tot el bosc no belluga cap fulla. Lluny, lluny sona el cor de les estrelles.
