Zwei Lieder auf Texte von Paul Heyse

Song Cycle by Alexander Zemlinsky (1871 - 1942)

Translated to:

English — Two Songs on Texts by Paul Heyse

1. Auf die Nacht
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Auf die Nacht in den Spinnstuben
Da singen die Mädchen,
Da lachen die Dorfbuben,
Wie flink geht das Rädchen!
 
Spinnt jedes ein Brautschatz,
Daß der Liebste sich freut.
Nicht lange, so gibt es
Hochzeitsgeläut.
 
Kein Mensch, der mir gut ist,
Will nach mir fragen.
Wie bang mir zu Muth ist,
Wem soll ich's klagen?
 
Die Thränen rinnen
Mir übers Gesicht --
Wofür ich soll spinnen,
Ich weiß es nicht!

2. Im Lenz

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im Lenz, im Lenz,
Wenn Veilchen blühn zuhauf,
Gib acht, gib acht,
Da wachen die Tränen auf.
 
Im Herbst, im Herbst
Fiel alles Laub vom Baum.
Ach, Lieb' und Glück
Vergangen wie im Traum!
 
Gib acht, gib acht,
So ist der Dinge Lauf:
Blumen und Wunden
Brechen im Frühling auf.
