Fünf Lieder , opus 44

by Rudolph Bergh (1859 - 1924)

Translations available for the entire opus: CAT ENG FRE 

4. Ich habe nichts mehr zu sagen
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich habe nichts mehr zu sagen,
Ich habe alles gesagt.
Nun will ich klingend zum letzten Takt
Meine gute Geige zerschlagen.

Zerschlagen -- und wandern wieder
Ins Land, woher ich kam,
Wo ich in Jugendtagen vernahm
Den Traum vom Lied der Lieder.

Ihn träumen will ich wieder
Abseits und ganz allein --
Es muß voll tiefen Friedens sein,
Der Traum vom Lied der Lieder.

5. Die ganze Straße war in Ruh
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die ganze Straße war in Ruh 
Und nur dein Fenster war noch rot,
In deinem Zimmer warst nur du,
Du und der Tod. 

Die Nacht war wolkenschwarz und trieb
Verdorrte Blätter träg in Reihn.
Sie sprach zu mir: Ich hab dich lieb,
Laß mich herein.

Dein Licht erlosch; ich war allein.
Da ward mein Fenster aufgemacht,
Und lange sassen wir zu zwein,
Ich und die Nacht.
