Catalan (Català) translations of Sechs Gesänge, opus 7

by Johannes Brahms (1833 - 1897)

Return to the original list

1. Treue Liebe
 (Sung text)
by Johannes Brahms (1833 - 1897), "Treue Liebe", op. 7 (Sechs Gesänge) no. 1 (1852), published 1854 [ voice and piano ], Leipzig, Breitkopf und Härtel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Mägdlein saß am Meerestrand
Und blickte voll Sehnsucht ins Weite.
»Wo bleibst du, mein Liebster, Wo weilst du so lang?
Nicht ruhen läßt mich des Herzens Drang.
Ach, kämst du, mein Liebster, doch heute!«

Der Abend nahte, die Sonne sank
Am Saum des Himmels darnieder.
»So trägt dich die Welle mir nimmer zurück?
Vergebens späht in die Ferne mein Blick.
Wo find' ich, mein Liebster, dich wieder,

Die Wasser umspielten ihr schmeichelnd den Fuß,
Wie Träume von seligen Stunden;
Es zog sie zur Tiefe mit stiller Gewalt:
Nie stand mehr am Ufer die holde Gestalt,
Sie hat den Geliebten gefunden!

1. Amor fidel
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Una donzella seia a la vora del mar
i, plena de melangia, esguardava al lluny.
“On ets tu, estimat meu, per què t’atardes tant?
La frisança del meu cor no em dóna cap repòs.
Ai, si tan sols poguessis tornar, avui!”

S’anava fent fosc, el sol es ponia
al límit del cel.
“Així les onades no et faran tornar mai?
En va aguaito a la llunyania.
On et retrobaré, amor meu?”

L’aigua jugava llepant els seus peus
com un somni de les hores felices;
una força silent l’arrossegà a la fondària,
la bella figura no restà mai més a la riba,
ella havia retrobat el seu estimat!

2. Parole
 (Sung text)
by Johannes Brahms (1833 - 1897), "Parole", op. 7 (Sechs Gesänge) no. 2 (1852), published 1854 [ voice and piano ], Leipzig, Breitkopf und Härtel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sie stand wohl am Fensterbogen
Und flocht sich traurig das Haar,
Der Jäger war fortgezogen,
Der Jäger ihr Liebster war.

Und als der Frühling gekommen,
Die Welt war von Blüthen verschneit,
Da hat sie ein Herz sich genommen
Und ging in die grüne Haid'.

Sie legt das Ohr an den Rasen,
Hört ferner Hufe Klang --
Das sind die Rehe, die grasen
Am schattigen Bergeshang.

Und Abends die Wälder rauschen,
Von fern nur fällt noch ein Schuß,
Da steht sie stille, zu lauschen:
»Das war meines Liebsten Gruß!«

Da sprangen vom Fels die Quellen,
Da flohen die Vöglein in's Thal.
»Und wo ihr ihn trefft, ihr Gesellen,
O, grüßt mir ihn tausendmal!«

  • by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857), no title, appears in Gedichte, in 7. Romanzen

See other settings of this text.

Note: first appeared (untitled) in the novel "Dichter und ihre Gesellen" (1834), later titled "Parole" in the first two editions of Eichendorff's collected poems (Berlin, 1837 and 1843); in a posthumous edition, the title was "Die Verlassene".

Modernized spelling would change "Blüthen" to "Blüten", "Haid'" to "Heid'", "Thal" to "Tal".

2. Consigna
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Ella estava dreta al marc de la finestra
i, trista, trenava els seus cabells,
el caçador havia marxat,
el caçador era el seu enamorat.

I quan arribà la primavera,
i el món es cobrí de flors,
ella prengué coratge
i anà al verd ermàs.

Posà l’orella a l’herba
i sentí el soroll de peülles llunyanes –
són els cabirols que pasturen
al pendís ubac de la muntanya.

I al vespre els boscos remorejaven,
de lluny se sentí només un tret, 
ella s’aturà silent per escoltar:
“Era la salutació del meu estimat!”

I les deus brollaven del rocam,
i els ocells volaven vers la vall.
“I allà on el trobeu, companys,
saludeu-lo mil vegades de part meva!”

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hoch über stillen Höhen
Stand in dem Wald ein Haus;
So einsam war's zu sehen,
Dort übern Wald hinaus.

Ein Mädchen saß darinnen
Bei stiller Abendzeit,
Tät seidne Fäden spinnen
Zu ihrem Hochzeitskleid.

3. Reminiscències
Language: Catalan (Català) 
A dalt del silent tossal
hi ha una casa enmig del bosc;
es veia tan solitària
allà des del bosc.

A dins, seia una donzella
en la tranquil·la vesprada,
teixint fils de seda
per al seu vestit de noces.

Die Schwälble ziehet fort, ziehet fort,

Weil mir's hie gar net, gar net g'fällt!
O Schwälble, komm, i bitt', i bitt'!
Zeig mir de Weg und nimm mi mit!

4. Cançó popular
Language: Catalan (Català) 
L’oreneta se’n va, se’n va,
lluny, a un altre indret;
i jo resto aquí en la tristor,
és un temps dolent i difícil.

Si tan sols pogués travessar el món, travessar el món,
car no m’agrada gens estar aquí, no m’agrada gens!
Oh oreneta, vine, t’ho prego, t’ho prego!
Mostra’m el camí i emmena’m amb tu!

Die drunter liegt?

5. L'afligida
Language: Catalan (Català) 
La meva mare no m’estima,
i no tinc cap amant,
oh, per què no em moro?
Què faig aquí?

Ahir hi havia una festa davant de l’església,
però a ben segur ningú em va veure,
car, com que estic tan trista,
no tinc ganes de ballar.

Deixeu estar les tres roses
que floreixen prop de la petita creu:
coneixeu la noia
que jau al dessota?
