Seis valses sobre canciones populares Toscanas
Song Cycle by Alexander Zemlinsky (1871 - 1942)
View original-language texts alone: Walzer Gesänge nach toskanischen Volksliedern von Ferdinand Gregorovius
Liebe Schwalbe, kleine Schwalbe, Du fliegst auf und singst so früh, Streuest durch die Himmelsbläue Deine süße Melodie. Die da schlafen noch am Morgen, Alle Liebenden in Ruh', Mit dem zwitschernden Gesange Die Versunk'nen weckest du. Auf! nun auf! ihr Liebesschläfer, Weil die Morgenschwalbe rief: Denn die Nacht wird den betrügen, Der den hellen Tag verschlief.

Querida golondrina, pequeña golondrina, vuelas y cantas tan temprano, expandiendo por el azul del cielo tu dulce melodía. A los que aún duermen por la mañana, a todos los plácidos enamorados, con tus gorjeantes cantos despiertas a los extasiados. ¡Vamos, arriba!, amantes dormilones, que la golondrina de la mañana os llama: pues la noche engañará al que durmió el claro día.

Klagen ist der Mond [gekommen]1, Vor der Sonne Angesicht, Soll ihm noch der Himmel frommen, Da du Glanz ihm nahmst und Licht? Seine Sterne ging er zählen, Und er will vor Leid vergehn: Zwei der schönsten Sterne fehlen, Die in deinem Antlitz stehn.

La luna se ha quejado a la cara del sol: ¿de qué me sirve ahora el cielo, si me has quitado mi brillo y mi luz? Se fue a contar sus estrellas, y quiere morirse de pena: le faltan dos de las más bellas, porque están en tu rostro.

Fensterlein, nachts bist du zu, Tust auf dich am Tag mir zu Leide: Mit Nelken umringelt bist du; O öffne dich, Augenweide! Fenster aus köstlichen Stein, Drinnen die Sonne, die Sterne da draußen, O Fensterlein heimlich und klein, Sonne [darinnen und Rosen daraußen]1.

Ventanita, por la noche estás cerrada, te abres de día para mi pesar; estás rodeada de claveles, ¡oh, ábrete, deleite de mis ojos! ¡Ventana de piedras preciosas, dentro el sol, afuera las estrellas, oh, ventanita, secreta y pequeña, el sol allí dentro y las rosas fuera!

Briefchen schrieb und warf in den Wind ich, Sie fielen ins Meer, und sie fielen auf Sand. Ketten von Schnee und von Eise, die bind' ich, Die Sonne zerschmilzt sie in meiner Hand. Maria, Maria, du sollst es dir merken: Am Ende gewinnt, wer dauert im Streit, Maria, Maria, das sollst du bedenken: Es siegt, wer dauert in Ewigkeit.
