Vor Edens Tor im Morgenprangen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT FRE ITA SPA

Alt-Solo
 Vor Edens Tor im Morgenprangen
 Stand eine Peri schmerzbefangen:
 Und wie sie lauscht dem Lebensquelle,
 Des Flut harmonisch drinnen hallte,
 Und wie vom Licht ihr Fittich helle,
 Das durch halboffne Pforten wallte:
 Weint sie, verbannt aus diesen Au'n,
 Ihr sündiges Geschlecht zu schaun.

Note: this text is a translation of part of Thomas Moore's Paradise and the Peri.

Davanti alle soglie dell'Eden

Contralto solo
 Davanti alle porte dell'Eden, nello splendore del mattino,
 stava una Peri assediata dal dolore:
 e sentendo la sorgente di vita,
 che armoniosamente fa eco con la sua corrente,
 e osservando rischiararsi le sue ali alla luce
 che a tratti penetra attraverso le porte socchiuse,
 prorompe in pianto, esclusa da quel posto,
 considerando la sua stirpe colpevole.
