Canções das Mortes das Crianças
Song Cycle by Gustav Mahler (1860 - 1911)
View original-language texts alone: Kindertotenlieder
Nun will die Sonn' so hell aufgehn, Als sei kein Unglück die Nacht geschehn! Das Unglück geschah nur mir allein! Die Sonne, sie scheinet allgemein! Du mußt nicht die Nacht in dir verschränken, Mußt sie ins ew'ge Licht versenken! Ein Lämplein verlosch in meinem Zelt! Heil sei dem Freudenlicht der Welt!

Agora o sol quer nascer tão brilhante, Como se nenhum infortúnio tivesse ocorrido à noite! O infortúnio se sucedeu apenas comigo. O sol, ele brilha para todos. Tu não deves guardar a noite dentro de ti, Deves submergi-la na luz eterna! Uma pequena lâmpada se apaga em minha tenda Bem-vinda, luz das felicidades do mundo!

Nun seh' ich wohl, warum so dunkle Flammen Ihr sprühtet mir in manchem Augenblicke. O Augen, gleichsam, um [in]1 einem Blicke Zu drängen eure ganze Macht zusammen. Doch ahnt' ich nicht, weil Nebel mich umschwammen, Gewoben vom verblendenden Geschicke, Daß sich der Strahl bereits zur Heimkehr schicke, Dorthin, von wannen alle Strahlen stammen. Ihr wolltet mir mit eurem Leuchten sagen: Wir möchten nah dir [immer]2 bleiben gerne! Doch ist uns das vom Schicksal abgeschlagen. Sieh' [recht]2 uns [an]3, denn bald sind wir dir ferne! Was dir [noch]4 Augen sind in diesen Tagen: In künft'gen Nächten sind es dir nur Sterne.

Agora vejo bem, por que chamas tão escuras Brilhavam para mim de teus olhares tantas vezes. Ó olhos, em apenas uma mirada Concentravam todo seu poder. Porém eu não imaginava, por estar envolto em névoas, Tecidas pelo ofuscante destino, Que o raio logo se enviava ao lar, Lá, de onde surgem todos os raios. Tu querias me dizer com tuas luzes: Gostaríamos de ficar juntos de ti! Mas isso nos é recusado pelo destino. Olhe para nós, pois logo estaremos longe de ti! O que nestes dias são apenas teus olhos: Nas noites futuras, serão estrelas.

Wenn dein Mütterlein tritt zur Tür herein, Und den Kopf ich drehe, ihr entgegen sehe, Fällt auf ihr Gesicht erst der Blick mir nicht, Sondern auf die Stelle, näher nach der Schwelle, Dort, wo würde dein lieb Gesichten sein, Wenn du freudenhelle trätest mit herein, Wie sonst, mein Töchterlein. Wenn dein Mütterlein tritt zur Tür herein, Mit der Kerze Schimmer, ist es mir, als immer Kämst du mit herein, huschtest hinterdrein, Als wie sonst ins Zimmer! O du, des Vaters Zelle, Ach, zu schnell erloschner Freudenschein!

Quando tua mãezinha entra pela porta E eu viro a cabeça olhando em sua direção, Não é sobre seu rosto que recai o meu olhar E sim no local próximo ao batente Lá, onde estaria teu lindo rostinho, Quando tu, iluminada de alegrias, Entravas junto, Como outrora, minha filhinha. Quando tua mãezinha entra pela porta Com o brilho de uma vela para mim, é como se sempre Tu entrasses junto escondida atrás dela, Como outrora no quarto. Ó tu, célula do pai, Ah, brilho de alegria que foi apagado rápido demais.

Oft denk' ich, sie sind nur ausgegangen, Bald werden sie wieder nach Hause gelangen, Der Tag ist schön, o sei nicht bang, Sie machen nur einen weiten Gang.

Frequentemente penso que eles só saíram, e brevemente voltarão pra casa. O dia está lindo, não fique triste, Eles estão apenas dando um passeio longo. Sim, eles só saíram, E voltarão pra casa agora, Ó, não fique triste, o dia está bonito, Eles estão só passeando até aquelas colinas. Eles apenas continuaram a andar, E não irão mais voltar pra casa. Nós os alcançaremos naquelas colinas, sob o brilho do sol, o dia está lindo naquelas colinas.

In diesem Wetter, in diesem Braus, Nie hätt' ich gesendet die Kinder hinaus; Man hat sie getragen hinaus, Ich durfte nichts dazu sagen! In diesem Wetter, in diesem Saus, Nie hätt' ich gelassen die Kinder hinaus, Ich fürchtete sie erkranken; Das sind nun eitle Gedanken. In diesem Wetter, in diesem Graus, Nie hätt' ich gelassen die Kinder hinaus; Ich sorgte, sie stürben morgen, Das ist nun nicht zu besorgen. In diesem Wetter, in diesem Graus! Nie hätt' ich gesendet die Kinder hinaus! Man hat sie hinaus getragen, ich durfte nichts dazu sagen! In diesem Wetter, in diesem Saus, in diesem Braus, Sie ruh'n als wie in der Mutter Haus, Von keinem Sturm erschrecket, Von Gottes Hand bedecket.

Nesse tempo, nesse vendaval, nessa tormenta Eles descansam como que na casa da mãe, Sem nenhuma tempestade os assustar, Cobertos pela mão de Deus.
