Es ist immer derselbe Traum: Ein rotblühender Kastanienbaum, Ein Garten, voll von Sonnenflor, Einsam ein altes Haus davor. Dort, wo der stille Garten liegt, Hat meine Mutter mich gewiegt; Vielleicht - es ist so lange her - Steht Garten, Haus und Baum nicht mehr. Vielleicht geht jetzt ein Wiesenweg Und Pflug und Egge drüber weg, Von Heimat, Garten, Haus und Baum Ist nichts geblieben als mein Traum.
Abschied, liederencyclus
Song Cycle by Géza Frid (1904 - 1989)

2. Im Nebel
Language: German (Deutsch)
Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern! Einsam ist jeder Busch und Stein, Kein Baum sieht den andern, Jeder ist allein. Voll Freunden war mir die Welt, Als noch mein Leben licht war; Nun, da der Nebel fällt, Ist keiner mehr sichtbar. Wahrlich, keiner ist weise, Der nicht das Dunkel kennt, Das unentrinnbar und leise Von allen ihn trennt. Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern! Leben ist Einsamsein. Kein Mensch kennt den andern, Jeder ist allein.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich log! Ich log! Ich bin nicht alt, Ich bin nicht satt vom Leben, Mir macht jede schöne Frauengestalt Noch Puls und Gedanken erbeben. Mir träumt noch von Weibern heiß und nackt, Von guten und von schlechten, Von wilder Walzer brillantem Takt Und von verliebten Nächten. Mir träumt von einer Liebe sogar, Einer schweigsam schönen und reinen, Wie jene erste, heilige war, Und ich kann noch um sie weinen.

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.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Der Tod ging nachts durch eine Stadt. Ein Fenster war noch rot im Dach, Dort saß ob einem Verseblatt Ein kranker Dichter spät noch wach. Der Tod stieß leis das Fenster ein Und blies die trübe Ampel aus. Ein Hauch, ein Blick, ein Lächelschein, Und dunkel wurde Stadt und Haus.
