Italian (Italiano) translation of Die Lotosblume ängstigt

by Oscar Strasnoy (b. 1970), "Die Lotosblume ängstigt" [ duet for soprano and tenor with piano ], from Heine, no. 9

Note: this is a translation of one multi-text setting.

Die Lotosblume ängstigt
Sich vor der Sonne Pracht
Und mit gesenktem Haupte
Erwartet sie träumend die Nacht.

Der Mond, [der]1 ist ihr Buhle
Er weckt sie mit seinem Licht,
Und ihm entschleiert sie freundlich
Ihr [frommes]2 Blumengesicht,

Sie blüht und glüht und leuchtet
Und starret stumm in die Höh';
Sie duftet und weinet und zittert
Vor Liebe und Liebesweh.

Ich hab' im [Traum]1 geweinet,
Mir träumte, du lägest im Grab.
Ich wachte auf, und die Träne 
Floß noch von der Wange herab.

Ich hab' im [Traum]1 geweinet,
Mir [träumt']2, du verließest mich.
Ich wachte auf, [und ich weinte]3
Noch lange bitterlich.

Ich hab' im [Traum]1 geweinet,
Mir träumte, du [wär'st mir noch]4 gut.
Ich wachte auf, und noch immer
[Strömt meine Tränenflut]5.

Allnächtlich im Traume seh' ich dich
Und sehe dich freundlich grüßen,
Und laut aufweinend stürz' ich mich
Zu deinen süßen Füßen.

Du [siehst]1 mich an wehmütiglich
Und schüttelst das blonde Köpfchen;
Aus deinen Augen [schleichen sich  
Die Perlentränentröpfchen]2.

Du [sagst]3 mir heimlich ein leises Wort
Und gibst mir den Strauß von Zypressen.
Ich wache auf, und der Strauß ist fort,
[Und das]4 Wort hab' ich vergessen.

Author(s): Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Il fiore di loto è una fanciulla che ha paura
dello splendore del sole,
e col capo reclinato
aspetta sognando la notte.

Il dio della luna, che è il suo amante,
la desta con la sua luce,
e lei gli svela amico
il suo viso devoto di fiore.

Fiorisce, arde e brilla,
e guarda muta verso l'alto;
profuma, e piange e trema
per amore e pena d'amore.

Ho pianto in sogno.
Sognavo che tu giacevi nella tomba.
Mi svegliai, e la lacrima
scorreva ancora già peril mio viso.

Ho pianto in sogno.
Sognavo che tu mi lasciavi.
Mi svegliai, e piansi
ancora amaramente.

Ho pianto in sogno.
Sognavo che tu mi amavi ancora.
Mi svegliai, e ancora sempre
scorre il fiume della mie lacrime.

Tutte le notti in sogno ti vedo,
e ti vedo salutare amica,
e piangendo forte io mi prostro
dolcemente ai tuoi piedi.

Tu mi guardi malinconica
e scuoti la testina bionda;
dai tuoi occhi scivolano
gocce di perle.

Tu mi dici in segreto una parola sommessa
e mi offri un mazzo di rami di cipresso.
Io mi sveglio, ed il mazzo è scomparso,
e la parola, l'ho dimenticata.
