by Fr. Gartner , "Die einsame Träne", op. 9 (Sechs Lieder), Heft 2 no. 4
Language: German (Deutsch)
Was will die einsame Thräne? Sie trübt mir ja den Blick. Sie blieb aus alten Zeiten In meinem Auge zurück. Sie [hatte]1 viel' leuchtende Schwestern, Die alle zerflossen sind, Mit meinen Qualen und Freuden, Zerflossen in Nacht und Wind. Wie Nebel sind auch zerflossen Die blauen Sternelein, Die mir [jene]2 Freuden und Qualen Gelächelt ins Herz hinein. Ach, meine Liebe selber Zerfloß wie eitel Hauch! Du alte, einsame Thräne, Zerfließe jetzunder auch!

1. Cosa vuole questa lacrima solitaria?
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Cosa vuole questa lacrima solitaria? Mi annebbia la vista. E da tanto tempo mi ritorna negli occhi. Aveva molte sorelle lucenti, che sono tutte svanite, con le gioie e con i tormenti, nella notte e nel vento perdute. Come nebbia sono scomparse anche le piccole stelle azzurre, che, sorridendo, gioie e dolore mi avevano suscitato nel cuore. Ahimé, anche il mio amore è passato come un soffio vano! Lacrima antica e solitaria, svanisci tu pure lontano!
