by Ludwig Leo Forwerk

Return to the original list

1.   [sung text not yet checked]
by Ludwig Leo Forwerk , no title, op. 7 (Der arme Peter) no. 3
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der arme Peter wankt vorbei,
Gar langsam, leichenblaß und scheu.
Es bleiben fast, wie sie ihn sehn,
Die Leute auf der Straße stehn.

Die Mädchen flüstern sich ins Ohr:
"Der stieg wohl aus dem Grab hervor?"
Ach nein, ihr lieben Jungfräulein,
Der steigt erst [ins]1 Grab hinein.

Er hat verloren seinen Schatz,
Drum ist das Grab der beste Platz,
Wo er am besten liegen mag
Und schlafen bis zum jüngsten Tag.

1 Schumann: "in das"

by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
1. Le pauvre Pierre passe en chancelant
Language: French (Français) 
Le pauvre Pierre passe en chancelant,
Très lentement, livide et hagard.
En le voyant,
Dans la rue les passants s'arrêtent presque.

Les filles se murmurent à l'oreille :
"Il sort sûrement du tombeau."
Hélas non, chères jeunes filles,
Il ne s'y est pas encore glissé.

Il a perdu son trésor,
Donc le tombeau est le meilleur endroit,
C'est là qu'il préférerait s'allonger
Et dormir jusqu'au jour du Jugement.
