Immortalitat

Translations © by Salvador Pila

Song Cycle by Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897 - 1957)

View original-language texts alone: Unvergänglichkeit

1. Unvergänglichkeit
 (Sung text)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Deine edlen weißen Hände
Legen meine Seel' zur Ruh',
Wenn sie meinen Scheitel segnen,
Schließ' ich meine Augen zu
Und sag' nur leise: Du!

Und Welten sinken in ein Nichts,
Die Meere rauschen dumpf und weit;
Deine edlen weißen Hände
Sind mir Unvergänglichkeit.

1. Immortalitat
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Les teves precioses, blanques mans
fan romandre la meva ànima en repòs,
quan elles beneeixen el meu coronell,
tanco els meus ulls 
i dic ben fluixet: Tu!

I móns s'enfonsen en un no-res,
els mars mormolen somorts i llunyans;
les teves precioses, blanques mans
són, per a mi, immortalitat.

2. Das eilende Bächlein
 (Sung text)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bächlein, Bächlein, wie du eilen kannst,
Rasch, geschäftig ohne Rast und Ruh'!
Wie du Steinchen mit dir nimmst - 
Schau' dir gerne zu!

Doch das Bächlein spricht zu mir:
"Siehst du, liebes Kind,
Wie die Welle eilt und rast
Und vorüberrinnt?"

"Jeder Tropfen ist ein Tag,
Jede Welle gleicht dem Jahr -
Und du, - du stehst am Ufer nur,
sagst dir still: es war."

2. L'apressat rierol
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Rierol, rierol, com pots corre de pressa,
veloç, trafegut, sense pausa ni descans!
M'agrada mirar
com t'emportes les pedretes.

Però el rierol em parla i diu:
"Veus tu, estimat infant,
com l'onada s'apressa, s'atura
i passa de llarg?"

"Cada gota és un dia,
cada onada és igual a un any,
i tu, dret a la riba, sols
et dius fluixet a tu mateix: això era."

3. Das schlafende Kind
 (Sung text)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn du schläfst, ich segne dich, Kind.
Segne dich in deinen Kissen,
Wenn du lächelst hell im Traum,
Möcht' ich fragen:
Darf ich wissen,
Was ein Engel dir jetzt sang?

Doch ich will dich träumen lassen,
Nichts ist schöner als der Traum.
Und du sollst auch niemals wissen,
Daß auch das Glück nur ein Traum.

3. L'infant dorment
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Quan tu dorms, jo et beneeixo, infant.
Et beneeixo en el teu coixí,
quan somrius serè en somnis,
m'agradaria preguntar-te:
puc saber
què et canta ara un àngel?

Però et vull deixar somiar,
res és més bonic que el somni.
I tu no has de saber mai
que la felicitat no és res més que un somni.

4. Stärker als der Tod
 (Sung text)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nimm meinen schweren Dornenkranz
Aus meinem weißen Haar,
Den Kranz der dunklen Schmerzgedanken,
Laß' um mein müdes Haupt Weinlaub der Freude ranken.

Es soll das Rebenblatt mich lehren durch seine Pracht
und durch sein Rot,
Daß Liebe eine große Macht
Und stärker noch als selbst der Tod.

4. Més fort que la mort
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Treu la meva feixuga corona d'espines
del meus cabells blancs,
la corona dels meus obscurs pensaments dolorosos,
deixa que s'enfilin alegres fulles de parra al voltant
del meu cap cansat.

La fulla de cep m'ha d'ensenyar, per la seva esplendor,
per el seu color vermell,
que l'amor és un gran poder,
fins i tot, més fort que la mort.
