Return to the original list

1. Ich habe nichts mehr zu sagen
 (Sung text)
by Rudolph Bergh (1859 - 1924), "Ich habe nichts mehr zu sagen", op. 44 (Fünf Lieder) no. 4, published 1925 [ voice and piano ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich habe nichts mehr zu sagen,
Ich habe alles gesagt.
Nun will ich klingend zum letzten Takt
Meine gute Geige zerschlagen.

Zerschlagen -- und wandern wieder
Ins Land, woher ich kam,
Wo ich in Jugendtagen vernahm
Den Traum vom Lied der Lieder.

Ihn träumen will ich wieder
Abseits und ganz allein --
Es muß voll tiefen Friedens sein,
Der Traum vom Lied der Lieder.

1. Je n'ai plus rien à dire
Language: French (Français) 
Je n'ai plus rien à dire,
J'ai tout dit.
Maintenant qu'il résonne de sa dernière mesure,
Je veux briser mon cher violon.

Le briser, et à nouveau parcourir
Le pays d'où je vins,
Où au cours de mes années de jeunesse
J'ai perçu le rêve du chant des chants.

Je veux le rêver encore,
À l'écart et tout seul –
Il doit être empli d'une paix profonde,
Le rêve du chant des chants.

2. Die ganze Straße war in Ruh
 (Sung text)
by Rudolph Bergh (1859 - 1924), "Die ganze Straße war in Ruh", op. 44 (Fünf Lieder) no. 5, published 1925 [ voice and piano ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die ganze Straße war in Ruh 
Und nur dein Fenster war noch rot,
In deinem Zimmer warst nur du,
Du und der Tod. 

Die Nacht war wolkenschwarz und trieb
Verdorrte Blätter träg in Reihn.
Sie sprach zu mir: Ich hab dich lieb,
Laß mich herein.

Dein Licht erlosch; ich war allein.
Da ward mein Fenster aufgemacht,
Und lange sassen wir zu zwein,
Ich und die Nacht.

2.
Language: French (Français) 
La rue toute entière était calme
Et seule ta fenêtre était encore rouge,
Il n'y avait que toi dans ta chambre,
Toi et la mort.

La nuit était noire de nuages et poussait
Mollement des rangées de feuilles mortes.
Elle me dit :  « je t'ai aimé,
Laisse-moi entrer ».

Ta lumière s'éteignit ; j'étais seul,
Puis ma fenêtre s'ouvrit,
Et nous restâmes longtemps assis tous deux,
La nuit et moi.
