Dutch (Nederlands) translations of Zwei Lieder, opus 24

by Franz Peter Schubert (1797 - 1828)

1. Gruppe aus dem Tartarus
by Franz Peter Schubert (1797 - 1828), "Gruppe aus dem Tartarus", op. 24 no. 1, D 583 (1817), published 1823
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Horch - wie Murmeln des empörten Meeres,
Wie durch hohler Felsen Becken weint ein Bach,
 ...  dumpfig tief ein schweres, leeres,
Qualerpreßtes Ach!

Schmerz verzerret
Ihr Gesicht, Verzweiflung sperret
Ihren Rachen fluchend auf.
Hohl sind ihre Augen - ihre Blicke
Spähen bang nach des Kozytus Brücke,
Folgen thränend seinem Trauerlauf.

Fragen sich einander ängstlich leise:
Ob noch nicht Vollendung sey? -
Ewigkeit schwingt über ihnen Kreise,
Bricht die Sense des Saturns entzwei.

Text Authorship:

  • by Friedrich von Schiller (1759 - 1805), "Gruppe aus dem Tartarus", written <<1781

See other settings of this text.

First published in Anthologie auf das Jahr 1782, anonymously edited by Schiller with the fake publishing information "Gedrukt in der Buchdrukerei zu Tobolsko", actually published by Johann Benedict Metzler in Stuttgart. The poem (page 147) has "Y." as the author's name.

by Friedrich von Schiller (1759 - 1805)
1. Een groep vanuit de Tartarus1
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Hoor -- als 't grommen van vergramde zeeën,
Zoals huilt een beek door 'n holle rotsenspleet,
Kreunt daar dof en diep een zware, weeë
Pijnbeladen kreet!

Pijn vertekent
Hun gelaat, vertwijf'ling breekt en
Spert hun kaken vloekend wijd.
Hol staren hun blikken, en hun ogen
Zoeken angstig naar Cocytus' bogen,
Zien met tranen hoe de klaagstroom glijdt.

Vragen schichtig en met fluisteringen:
Komt geen eind aan 't ongeluk?
Eeuwigheid draait boven hen haar kringen,
Breekt het zeisblad van Saturnus stuk.

2. Schlaflied
 (Sung text)
by Franz Peter Schubert (1797 - 1828), "Schlaflied", alternate title: "Abendlied", op. 24 no. 2, D 527 (1817), published 1823 [ voice, piano ], Sauer & Leidesdorf, VN 429, Wien
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es mahnt der Wald, es ruft der Strom:
"Du liebes Bübchen zu uns komm!"
Der Knabe kommt und staunend weilt,
Und ist von jedem Schmerz geheilt.

Aus Büschen flötet Wachtelschlag,
Mit irren Farben spielt der Tag;
Auf Blümchen roth, auf Blümchen blau
Erglänzt des Himmels feuchter Thau.

Ins frische Gras legt er sich hin:
Läßt über sich die Wolken zieh'n -
An seine Mutter angeschmiegt,
Hat ihn der Traumgott eingewiegt.

Text Authorship:

  • by Johann Baptist Mayrhofer (1787 - 1836), "Schlaflied"

Note: Schubert received Mayrhofer's texts generally in handwriting; the printed edition of Mayrhofer's poems appeared much later and presents the texts usually in a revised version.

2. Slaaplied/Sluimerliedje
 (Sung text translation) See original
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Het bos vermaant, ook roept de stroom:
"Jij lief klein jochie, kom, och kom!"
De jongen komt, verbaasd, verblijd,
En is snel elk verdrietje kwijt.
 
Uit bosjes klinkt de kwartelslag,
Met vreemde kleuren speelt de dag;
Op bloempjes rood, op bloempjes blauw
Ligt glanzend 's hemels natte dauw.
 
In 't frisse gras legt hij zich neer,
- Hoog boven hem gaan wolken teer -.
Zacht in zijn moeders schoot
 gevlijd,
Heeft hem de droomgod al verleid.
