French (Français) translations of Drei Lieder, opus 16

by Hermann Drechsler (1861 - 1935)

1. Nacht liegt auf den fremden Wegen  [sung text not yet checked]
by Hermann Drechsler (1861 - 1935), "Nacht liegt auf den fremden Wegen", op. 16 (Drei Lieder) no. 1
Language: German (Deutsch) 
     Nacht liegt auf den fremden Wegen, –
Krankes Herz und müde Glieder; –
Ach, da fließt, wie stiller Segen,
Süßer Mond, dein Licht hernieder.

     Süßer Mond, mit deinen Strahlen
Scheuchest du das nächt’ge Grauen;
Es zerrinnen meine Qualen,
Und die Augen überthauen.

1.
Language: French (Français) 
La nuit s'étend sur les chemins étrangers,
Coeur malade et membres las; -
Ah, douce lune, fait couler là,
Ici-bas, ta lumière comme une calme bénédiction.

Avec tes rayons, douce lune,
Chasse l'horreur nocturne;
Mes tourments s'évanouissent
Et mes yeux débordent de rosée.

2. Der Tod, das ist die kühle Nacht  [sung text not yet checked]
by Hermann Drechsler (1861 - 1935), "Der Tod, das ist die kühle Nacht", op. 16 (Drei Lieder) no. 2
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Tod, das ist die kühle Nacht,
Das Leben ist der schwüle Tag.
Es dunkelt schon, mich schläfert,
Der Tag hat mich müd gemacht.

Über mein Bett erhebt sich ein Baum,
Drin singt die junge Nachtigall;
Sie singt von lauter Liebe -
Ich hör es sogar im Traum.

2.
Language: French (Français) 
La mort est la froide nuit.
La vie est le jour oppressant.
Il fait déjà sombre, je m'assoupis,
Le jour m'a rendu las.

Au-dessus de mon lit s'élève un arbre,
Le jeune rossignol  y chante;
Il chante haut l'amour -
Je l'entends même en rêve.

3. Die Linde blüte, die Nachtigall sang  [sung text not yet checked]
by Hermann Drechsler (1861 - 1935), "Die Linde blüte, die Nachtigall sang", op. 16 (Drei Lieder) no. 3
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Linde blühte, die Nachtigall sang,
Die Sonne lachte mit freundlicher Lust;
Da küßtest du mich, und dein Arm mich umschlang,
Da preßtest du mich an die schwellende Brust.
 
Die Blätter fielen, der Rabe schrie hohl,
Die Sonne grüßte verdrossenen Blicks;
Da sagten wir frostig einander: "Lebwohl!"
Da knickstest du höflich den höflichsten Knicks.

3.
Language: French (Français) 
Le tilleul était en fleur, le rossignol chantait,
Le soleil amical riait de plaisir ;
Soudain tu m'embrassas et ton bras m'enlaça
Et tu me pressas sur ta poitrine exaltée.

Les feuilles tombaient, le corbeau croassait,
Le soleil jetait des regards moroses ;
Alors nous nous dîmes un glacial « adieu ! »
Et tu fis une révérence polie, la plus polie des révérences.
