Italian (Italiano) translations of Vier Gesänge für 1 mittlere Stimme mit Pianoforte, opus 5

by Iver Holter (1850 - 1941)

1. An den Mond  [sung text not yet checked]
by Iver Holter (1850 - 1941), "An den Mond", op. 5 (Vier Gesänge für 1 mittlere Stimme mit Pianoforte) no. 1, published 1881 [ medium voice and piano ], Offenbach, André
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Füllest wieder Busch und Thal
Still mit Nebelglanz,
Lösest endlich auch einmal
Meine Seele ganz;

Breitest über mein Gefild
Lindernd deinen Blick,
Wie des Freundes Auge mild
Über mein Geschick.

Jeden Nachklang fühlt mein Herz
Froh- und trüber Zeit,
Wandle zwischen Freud' und Schmerz
In der Einsamkeit.

Fließe, fließe, lieber Fluß!
Nimmer werd' ich froh,
So verrauschte Scherz und Kuß,
Und die Treue so.

Ich besaß es doch einmal,
Was so köstlich ist!
Daß man doch zu seiner Qual
Nimmer es vergißt!

Rausche, Fluß, das Thal entlang,
Ohne Rast [und]1 Ruh,
Rausche, flüstre meinem Sang
Melodien zu,

Wenn du in der Winternacht
Wüthend überschwillst,
Oder um die Frühlingspracht
Junger Knospen quillst.

Selig, wer sich vor der Welt
Ohne Haß verschließt,
Einen Freund am Busen hält
Und mit dem genießt,

Was, von Menschen nicht gewußt
Oder nicht bedacht,
Durch das Labyrinth der Brust
Wandelt in der Nacht.

1 Schubert (D.296 only): "und ohne"

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
1. Alla luna
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Riempi ancora bosco e valle,
in silenzio, di splendore argenteo,
sciogli infine, ancora una volta
tutta la mia anima.

Spandi sulla mia terra,
con forza di pace, il tuo sguardo,
come l'occhio dell'amico, dolce
sul mio destino.

Ogni eco risente il mio cuore
del tempo lieto e triste,
cammino tra gioia e dolore
nella solitudine.

Scorri, scorri, caro fiume!
Mai sarò lieto;
così svanì scherzo e bacio,
e così la fedeltà.

Ma lo possedetti un giorno,
ciò che è così prezioso!
E per il proprio tormento,
non si può dimenticare!

Mormora, fiume, lungo la valle,
senza sosta né pace,
mormora, sussurrando al mio canto
melodie 

quando nella notte d'inverno
irato ti gonfi,
o quando nello splendore primaverile
le tenere gemme spruzzi.

Beato chi dinanzi al mondo 
si nasconde senza odio,
stringe al petto un amico
e con lui si gode

ciò che, ignorato dagli uomini
o non meditato,
per il labirinto del petto
vaga nella notte.

2. Solo chi conosce la nostalgia
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Solo chi conosce la nostalgia
Può capire la mia sofferenza!
Sola e separata
Da ogni gioia,
contemplo il firmamento
da quella parte.
Ah! Chi mi conosce e ama
E' così lontano.
Mi gira la testa,
Il petto mi brucia.
Solo chi conosce la nostalgia
Può capire la mia sofferenza.

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Eichwald [brauset]1,
Die Wolken [ziehn]2,
Das Mägdlein [sitzet]3
An Ufers Grün,
Es bricht sich die Welle mit Macht, mit Macht,
Und sie [seufzt]4 hinaus in die [finstre]5 Nacht,
Das Auge [von]6 Weinen [getrübet]7.

"Das Herz ist gestorben,
Die Welt ist leer,
Und weiter giebt sie
Dem Wunsche nichts mehr.
Du Heilige [rufe]8 dein Kind zurück,
Ich habe genossen das irdische Glück,
Ich habe gelebt und geliebet!"

Es rinnet der Thränen
Vergeblicher Lauf,
Die Klage sie wecket
Die Todten nicht auf,
Doch nenne, was tröstet und heilet die Brust
Nach der süßen Liebe [verschwundener]9 Lust,
Ich, die himmlische, wills nicht versagen.

["]10Laß rinnen der Thränen
Vergeblichen Lauf,
Es [wecke]1 die [Klage]12
Den Todten nicht auf,
Das süßeste Glück für die [traurende]13 Brust,
Nach der schönen Liebe [verschwundener]9 Lust,
Sind der Liebe Schmerzen und Klagen.

Confirmed with Goethe's Werke. Vollständige Ausgabe letzter Hand. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J.G.Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1827, page 109; and with Goethe's Werke. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J. G. Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1815, page 99.

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "über" becomes "Ueber", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, since the lower-case version is not "ueber", so we use "Über".

1 Flügel, Gaugler, Hasse, Radecke: "Wipfeln" (according to the incipits given in Hofmeister) ; further changes may exist not noted above.

Gli uccelli  tacciono nel bosco,

avrai pace anche tu!
