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. Il povero Pietro va avanti con passo incerto
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Il povero Pietro va avanti con passo incerto,
lento, pallido come un morto e schivo.
Restano ferme le persone
che lo vedono per strada.

Le ragazze si sussurrano all'orecchio:
"Quello è uscito dalla tomba"
Ah, no, mie care fanciulle,
quello sta per entrare nella tomba.

Egli ha perduto il suo tesoro,
quindi è la tomba il luogo migiore
dove più volentieri vuole andare
e dormire fino alla fine del tempo.
