Return to the original list

1. Sommerwanderung
 (Sung text)
by Julius Gessinger (1899 - 1986), "Sommerwanderung", op. 51 (Vier Hesse-Lieder) no. 1 (1951) [ baritone and piano or string quartet ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Weites, goldenes Ährenmeer 
Wogt im Wind auf reifen Stengeln. 
Hufbeschlag und Sensendengeln 
Klingen fern vom Dorfe her.

Warme, düfteschwere Zeit! 
Zitternd in der Sonne Gluten 
Wiegen sich die goldnen Fluten 
Reif und schon zum Schnitt bereit.

Fremdling, der ich ohne Pfad 
Suchend pilgere auf Erden, 
Wird ich reif befunden werden, 
Wenn auch mir der Schnitter naht?

1. Pelegrinatge a l'estiu
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Un extens mar d’espigues daurades
oneja al vent damunt de tiges madures.
El soroll de ferradures i el martelleig de les falçs
ressonen lluny des del poble.

Temps càlid, carregat de flaires!
Tremolant sota l’ardor del sol,
les ones daurades es gronxen,
madures i promptes per a la sega.

Jo, estranger, que sense cercar camí
pelegrino per la terra,
em trobarà prou madur
la Segadora de la falç quan s’atansi?

2. Wanderschaft
 (Sung text)
by Julius Gessinger (1899 - 1986), "Wanderschaft", op. 51 (Vier Hesse-Lieder) no. 2 (1951) [ baritone and piano or string quartet ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im Walde blüht der Seidelbast,
Im Graben liegt noch Schnee;
Das du mir heut' geschrieben hast,
Das Brieflein tat mir weh.

Jetzt schneid' ich einen Stab im Holz;
Ich weiß ein ander Land,
Da sind die Jungfern nicht so stolz
Dem Lieben abgewandt.

Im Walde blüht der Seidelbast,
Kein Brieflein tut mir weh,
Und das du mir geschrieben hast,
Schwimmt draußen auf dem See, 
Schwimmt draußen auf dem Bodensee, 
Ja draußen auf dem See.

2. Caminada
Language: Catalan (Català) 
L’olivella floreix al bosc,
a la fondalada hi ha encara neu;
això que avui m’has escrit,
la petita carta, m’ha fet molt mal.

Ara em tallo un bastó de fusta;
conec un altre país
on les donzelles no són tan altives
per refusar l’amor.

L’olivella floreix al bosc,
cap petita carta em fa mal,
i la que tu m’has escrit,
sura allà fora al llac,
sura allà fora al llac de Constança,
sí, allà fora al llac.

3. Abendlied
 (Sung text)
by Julius Gessinger (1899 - 1986), "Abendlied", op. 51 (Vier Hesse-Lieder) no. 3 (1951) [ baritone and piano or string quartet ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun der Tag mich müd gemacht,
Soll mein sehnliches Verlangen
Freundlich die gestirnte Nacht
Wie ein müdes Kind empfangen. 

Hände, laßt von allem Tun,
Stirn vergiß du alles Denken,
Alle meine Sinne nun
Wollen sich in Schlummer senken. 

Und die Seele unbewacht
Will in freien Flügen schweben,
Um im Zauberkreis der Nacht
Tief und tausendfach zu leben.

3. A l'anar a dormir
Language: Catalan (Català) 
A poc a poc el dia m'ha cansat,
caldria que el meu ardent anhel
acollís plàcidament la nit estelada
com un infant extenuat.

Mans, deixeu tot el treball,
enteniment, oblida tots els pensaments
en aquest moment, tots els meus sentits 
volen enfonsar-se en un abaltiment. 

I l'esperit, sense guarda,
vol volar amb ales de lliure albir,
de forma que, en el màgic cercle de la nit,
pugui viure intensament i eterna.

4. Der Blütenzweig
 (Sung text)
by Julius Gessinger (1899 - 1986), "Der Blütenzweig", op. 51 (Vier Hesse-Lieder) no. 4 (1951) [ baritone and piano or string quartet ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Immer hin und wider
Strebt der Blütenzweig im Winde,
Immer auf und nieder
Strebt mein Herz gleich einem Kinde
Zwischen hellen und dunklen Tagen,
Zwischen Wollen und Entsagen.

Bis die Blüten sind verweht
Und der Zweig in Früchten steht,
Bis das Herz, der Kindheit satt,
Seine Ruhe hat
Und bekennt: voll Lust und nicht vergebens
War das unruhvolle Spiel des Lebens.

4.
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Sempre d’una banda al l’altra
s’agita la branca florida al vent,
sempre amunt i avall
s’agita el meu cor com un infant,
entre els dies clars i els dies foscos,
entre el desig i la renúncia.

Fins que les flors es marceixin
i la branca porti fruits,
fins que el cor, sadoll d’infantesa,
hagi trobat el repòs
i reconegui que, ple de goig i no endebades,
fou el tumultuós joc de la vida.
