Return to the original list

1. Die junge Nonne
 (Sung text)
by Franz Peter Schubert (1797 - 1828), "Die junge Nonne", op. 43 (Zwei Lieder) no. 1, D 828 (1825), published 1825, first performed 1826 [ voice, piano ], A. Pennauer, VN 136, Wien
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie braust durch die Wipfel der heulende Sturm!
Es klirren die Balken - es zittert das Haus!
Es rollet der Donner - es leuchtet der Blitz! -
Und finster die Nacht, wie das Grab! - - -
     Immerhin, immerhin!
So tobt' es auch jüngst noch in mir!
Es brauste das Leben, wie jetzo der Sturm!
Es bebten die Glieder, wie jetzo das Haus!
Es flammte die Liebe, wie jetzo der Blitz! -
Und finster die Brust, wie das Grab! -

Nun tobe du wilder, gewalt'ger Sturm!
Im Herzen ist Friede, im Herzen ist Ruh! -
Des Bräutigams harret die liebende Braut,
  Gereinigt in prüfender Glut -
  Der ewigen Liebe getraut. -

Ich harre, mein Heiland, mit sehnendem Blick;
Komm, himmlischer Bräutigam! hole die Braut!
Erlöse die Seele von irdischer Haft! -
Horch! friedlich ertönet das Glöcklein vom Thurm;
  Es lockt mich das süße Getön
  Allmächtig zu ewigen Höhn -
     »Alleluja!«

1. La jeune nonne
Language: French (Français) 
Comme elle mugit à travers les cimes la tempête hurlante !
Les poutres vibrent, la maison tremble !
Le tonnerre gronde, l'éclair jaillit,
Et la nuit est sombre, comme la tombe.
   De même, de même,
Ainsi récemment cela grondait en moi !
Ma vie fulminait, comme cette tempête,
Mes membres tremblaient comme cette maison,
L'amour brûlait, comme cet éclair,
Et mon cœur était aussi sombre que la tombe.

Maintenant fulmine, tempête sauvage et puissante,
Dans mon cœur est la paix, dans mon cœur est le repos,
La fiancée aimante attend impatiemment le fiancé,
Purifiée par un feu ,
Unie à l'amour éternel

Je t'attends, mon Sauveur, avec un regard implorant !
Viens, fiancé céleste, prens ta fiancée,
Délivre l'âme de la prison terrestre .
Écoute, la petite cloche de la tour sonne paisiblement !
Son doux son m'attire
Impérieusement vers les hauteurs éternelles.
Alléluia !

2. Nacht und Träume
 (Sung text)
by Franz Peter Schubert (1797 - 1828), "Nacht und Träume", op. 43 (Zwei Lieder) no. 2, D 827 (1822?), published 1825
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Heil'ge Nacht, du sinkest nieder;
Nieder wallen auch die Träume,
Wie dein Mondlicht durch die Räume,
Durch der Menschen stille Brust;
Die belauschen sie mit Lust,
Rufen, wenn der Tag erwacht:
Kehre wieder holde Nacht,
Holde Träume kehret wieder.

  • by Matthäus Kasimir von Collin (1779 - 1824), "Nachtfeyer"

See other settings of this text.

Note: Schubert received Collin's poem in handwritten form. It was later published (posthumously) in a slightly different version, with the title Nachtfeyer, together with another version of the same poem, titled Nacht und Träume, which has also been incorporated in Collin's dramatic fragment Fortunats Abfahrt von Cypern; see below.

by Matthäus Kasimir von Collin (1779 - 1824)
2.
Language: French (Français) 
Sainte nuit, tu descends,
Rêves, aussi, vous arrivez,
Comme ton clair de lune à travers l'espace,
À travers le cœur paisible des hommes.
Ils écoutent avec plaisir ;
Ils appellent quand le jour s'éveille :
Reviens, sainte nuit !
Beaux rêves, revenez !
