Des Jägermädchens Klage

Language: German (Deutsch)

Jetzt wohl geht auf öden Wegen
er, der mir im Herzen lebt,
irrt in düster'n Waldgehegen,
wo kein Vogel singt und schwebt,
hört nur auf der Bäume Rauschen,
auf des Bächleins Murmelflut,
liebt nur, auf das Wild zu lauschen,
das dort im Verborg'nen ruht.

Mag ich hier am Fenster weilen
und hinaus nach ihm nur späh'n,
ach, ihn treibt's nicht, heim zu eilen,
bis sein blut'ges Werk gescheh'n.
Nur des Waldes Tier zu schlachten
ist's, was Lust dem Wilden gibt,
mag indes ein Herz verschmachten,
das ihn treu wie keines liebt.

Il lamento della fidanzata del cacciatore

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Quei che vive nel mio petto,
per sentier romiti va,
si smarrisce mezzo ai boschi,
ove augel cantor non v'ha.
Solo ascolta lo stormire
delle fronde e 'l gorgogliar
de' rucelli, mentre ardito
va le belve a depredar.

Che 'l contempli dal verrone,
che lo segua col pensier,
ecco il veggo affaticarsi
trionfar del mio poter.
Truce gioja! e me quì sola
abbandona ansante in cor,
ne mai pensa a ricambiare
un sì puro e santo amor.

From the Thalberg score.
