5 Gesänge , opus 96

by Adolf Wallnöfer (1854 - 1946)

Translations available for the entire opus: CAT 

1. Gebet in einsamer Nacht
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die ihr meine Brüder seid,
Arme Menschen nah und ferne,
Die ihr im Bereich der Sterne
Tröstung träumet eurem Leid,
Die ihr wortlos, fromm gefaltet
In die blaß gestirnte Nacht
Schmale Dulderhände haltet,
Die ihr leidet, die ihr wacht,
Arme, irrende Gemeinde,
Schiffer ohne Stern und Glück --
Fremde, dennoch mir Vereinte,
Gebt mir meinen Gruß zurück.

Text Authorship:

  • by Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962), "Einsame Nacht", written 1901

2. Sommerruh'
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Wind ruht in den Ästen,
Und schaukelt sich müde nur,
Es klingt wie von fernen Festen
Eines Liedes schwindende Spur.

Mein Glück ist schlafen gangen,
Und lachet nur halb im Traum
Mit schönen, schmalen Wangen
Bewegt's die Lippen kaum.

Meine Liebe legt sich nieder
In meines Liedes Schoß
Und dehnt die zarten Glieder
Und macht die Augen groß.

All' Denkens leichte Zügel
Fallen mir aus der Hand,
Mein Lied lenkt seine Flügel
In ein grünes Schlummerland.

3. Es gibt so Schönes
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es gibt so Schönes in der Welt,
Daran du nie dich satt erquickst
Und das dir immer Treue hält
Und das du immer neu erblickst:

Der Blick von einer Alpe Grat,
Am grünen Meer ein stiller Pfad,
Ein Bach, der über Felsen springt,
Ein Vogel, der im Dunkel singt,

Ein Kind, das noch im Traume lacht,
Ein Sterneglanz der Winternacht,
Ein Abendrot im klaren See
Bekränzt von Alm und Firnenschnee,

 ... 
Ein Denken an die Kinderzeit,
Ein immer waches, zartes Leid,

Das nächtelang mit feinem Schmerz
Dir weitet das verengte Herz
Und über Sternen schön und bleich
Dir baut ein fernes Heimwehreich.

4. Kennst du das auch?
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kennst du das auch, dass manchesmal
Inmitten einer lauten Lust,
Bei einem Fest, in einem frohen Saal,
Du plötzlich schweigen und hinweggeh'n musst?

Dann legst du dich aufs Lager ohne Schlaf
Wie Einer, den ein plötzlich Herzweh traf;
Lust und Gelächter ist verstiebt wie Rauch,
Du weinst, weinst ohne Halt - Kennst du das auch?

5. Dorfabend
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Schäfer mit den Schafen
Zieht durch die stillen Gassen ein,
Die Häuser wollen schlafen
Und dämmern schon und nicken ein.

Ich bin in diesen Mauern
Der einz'ge fremde Mann zur Stund,
Es trinkt mein Herz mit Trauern
Den Kelch der Sehnsucht bis zum Grund.

Wohin der Weg mich führet,
Hat überall ein Herd gebrannt;
Nur ich hab nie verspüret,
Was Heimat ist und Vaterland.

Text Authorship:

  • by Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962), "Dorfabend", subtitle: "(1897)", written 1897
