Svanesang

Rauschendes Bächlein,
So silbern und hell,
Eilst zur Geliebten
So munter und schnell?
Ach trautes Bächlein
Mein Bote sey Du;
Bringe die Grüße
Des Fernen ihr zu.

All' ihre Blumen
Im Garten gepflegt,
Die sie so lieblich
Am Busen trägt,
Und ihre Rosen
In purpurner Gluth,
Bächlein, erquicke
Mit kühlender Fluth.

[Wenn]1 sie am Ufer,
In Träume versenkt,
Meiner gedenkend
Das Köpfchen hängt;
Tröste die Süße
Mit freundlichem Blick,
Denn der Geliebte
Kehrt bald zurück.

Neigt sich die Sonne
Mit röthlichem Schein,
Wiege das Liebchen
In Schlummer ein.
Rausche sie murmelnd
In süße Ruh,
Flüstre ihr Träume
Der Liebe zu.

Brusende lille bekk,
sølvskimrende og klar,
iler du til min elskede
så munter og snar?
Akk, pålitelige lille bekk,
vær mitt sendebud;
Overbring henne hilsener
fra det fjerne.

Alle de blomster
hun pleier i hagen,
de hun så kjærlig
bærer ved sitt bryst,
og rosene
i purpurglød - 
Lille bekk, forfrisk dem
med kjølende flod.

Når hun ved elvebredden
sitter hensunket i drømmer,
og tenker på meg
med hengende hode,
Da trøst den vakre
med et vennlig blikk,
for hennes elskede
vil snart vende tilbake.

Når solen synker
med det rødlige skinn,
vugg min elskede
i søvnen inn.
Brus henne mumlende
til stille ro,
hvisk til henne 
drømmer av kjærlighet.

In tiefer Ruh liegt um mich her
Der Waffenbrüder Kreis;
Mir ist das Herz so bang [und]1 schwer,
Von Sehnsucht mir so heiß.

Wie hab' ich oft so süß [geruht]2
An ihrem Busen warm!
Wie freundlich schien des Heerdes Gluth,
Lag sie in meinem Arm!

Hier, wo der [Flammen]3 düstrer Schein
Ach nur auf Waffen spielt,
Hier fühlt die Brust sich ganz allein,
Der Wehmuth Thräne quillt.

Herz! Daß der Trost Dich nicht verläßt!
[Es]4 ruft noch manche Schlacht. -
Bald ruh' ich wohl und schlafe fest,
Herzliebste - Gute Nacht!

I dyp ro ligger mine våpenbrødre
rundt meg i en sirkel;
Mitt hjerte er så engstelig og tungt,
så hett av lengsel.

Hvor ofte har jeg vel drømt søtelig
ved hennes varme bryst!
Hvor vennlig skinte ildens glød
da hun lå i mine armer!

Her hvor flammenes dystre skinn,
akk, kun leker med våpnene,
Her føler mitt bryst seg ganske alene,
vemodets tårer faller.

O hjerte! La ikke trøsten forlate deg!
Ennå kaller mange slag.
Snart skal jeg falle til ro og sove godt,
min hjertens kjær, god natt!

Säuselnde Lüfte
Wehend so mild,
Blumiger Düfte
Athmend erfüllt!
Wie haucht Ihr mich wonnig begrüßend an!
Wie habt Ihr dem pochenden Herzen gethan?
Es möchte Euch folgen auf luftiger Bahn!
Wohin?

Bächlein, so munter
Rauschend zumal,
[Wallen]1 hinunter
Silbern in's Thal.
Die schwebende Welle, dort eilt sie dahin!
Tief spiegeln sich Fluren und Himmel darin.
Was ziehst Du mich, sehnend verlangender Sinn,
Hinab?

Grüßender Sonne
Spielendes Gold,
Hoffende Wonne
Bringest Du hold.
Wie labt mich Dein selig begrüßendes Bild!
Es lächelt am tiefblauen Himmel so mild,
Und hat mir das Auge mit Thränen gefüllt! -
Warum?

Grünend umkränzet
Wälder und Höh'!
Schimmernd erglänzet
Blüthenschnee!
So dränget sich Alles zum bräutlichen Licht;
Es schwellen die Keime, die Knospe bricht;
Sie haben gefunden was ihnen gebricht:
Und Du?

Rastloses Sehnen!
Wünschendes Herz,
Immer nur Thränen,
Klage und Schmerz?
Auch ich bin mir schwellender Triebe bewußt!
Wer stillet mir endlich die drängende Lust?
Nur Du [befreiest]2 den Lenz in der Brust,
Nur Du!

Susende vinder 
blåser så mildt
og fyller åndende luften 
med blomsterduft!
Hvor dere puster lykkelig hilsende mot meg!
Hva har dere gjort mot mitt bankende hjerte?
Det vil gjerne følge dere på deres luftige veier!
Men hvor?

Lille bekk, 
alltid muntert farende,
vil sølvskimrende 
ile nedover til dalen.
De svevende bølger, dit iler de hen!
Deri speiler seg dypt åker og himmel.
Hvordan drar du meg, lengtende begjærlige sinn,
bort?

Den hilsende solens 
spillende gull,
ømt bringer 
du håpefull lykke!
Hvor ditt hellige hilsende bilde gleder meg!
Det smiler så mildt på en dypblå himmel
og fyller mine øyne med tårer.
Hvorfor?

Skog og høyder 
omkranses av grønt!
Skimrende skinner 
snøhvite blomster!
Slik trenger alt seg fram mot brudelyset;
Frøene sveller, knoppene brister,
de har funnet hva de begjærer:
Og du?

Rastløse lengsel! 
Ønskende hjerte,
for alltid kun tårer, 
klage og smerte?
Også jeg er bevisst mine svulmende drifter!
Hvem skal til slutt stille min brennende lyst?
Kun du kan befri våren i mitt bryst,
kun du!

Leise flehen meine Lieder
Durch die Nacht zu Dir;
In den stillen Hain hernieder,
Liebchen, komm' zu mir!

Flüsternd schlanke Wipfel rauschen
In des Mondes Licht;
Des Verräthers feindlich Lauschen
Fürchte, Holde, nicht.

Hörst die Nachtigallen schlagen?
Ach! sie flehen Dich,
Mit der Töne süßen Klagen
Flehen sie für mich.

Sie verstehn des Busens Sehnen,
Kennen Liebesschmerz,
Rühren mit den Silbertönen
Jedes weiche Herz.

Laß auch Dir die Brust bewegen,
Liebchen, höre mich!
Bebend harr' ich Dir entgegen;
Komm', beglücke mich!

Stille kaller mine sanger
mot deg gjennom natten,
- nedover den stille lunden:
Elskede, kom til meg!

Hviskende rasler de slanke tretoppene
i måneskinnet;
Frykt ikke forrædernes
fiendtlige lytten, min kjære.

Hører du nattergalene synge?
Akk, de kaller på deg,
med klagens søte toner
kaller de deg for meg.

De forstår brystets lengsel,
kjenner kjærlighetens smerte,
rører med sine sølvtoner
ethvert mykt hjerte.

La også ditt bryst beveges,
elskede, lytt til meg!
Sitrende venter jeg deg!
Kom, gjør meg lykkelig!

Rauschender Strom,
Brausender Wald,
Starrender Fels
Mein Aufenthalt.

Wie sich die Welle
An Welle reiht,
Fließen die Thränen
Mir ewig erneut.

Hoch in den Kronen
Wogend sich's regt,
So unaufhörlich
Mein Herze schlägt.

Und wie des Felsen
Uraltes Erz,
Ewig derselbe
Bleibet mein Schmerz.

Rauschender Strom,
Brausender Wald,
Starrender Fels
Mein Aufenthalt.

Brusende elv,
Raslende skog,
Stirrende Berg
- Mitt tilholdssted.

Som bølge
følger på bølge,
slik strømmer tårene mine 
evig fornyet.

Lik de høye trekronenes
vuggende bevegelser,
slik slår mitt hjerte
uopphørlig.

Og lik bergets
urgamle malm,
forblir min smerte
for alltid den samme.

Brusende elv,
Raslende skog,
Stirrende Berg
- Mitt tilholdssted.

Wehe dem Fliehenden
Welt hinaus ziehenden! -
Fremde durchmessenden,
Heimath vergessenden,
Mutterhaus hassenden,
Freunde verlassenden
Folget kein Segen, ach!
Auf ihren Wegen nach!

Herze, das sehnende,
Auge, das thränende,
Sehnsucht, nie endende,
Heimwärts sich wendende!
Busen, der wallende,
Klage, verhallende,
Abendstern, blinkender,
Hoffnungslos sinkender!

Lüfte, Ihr säuselnden,
Wellen sanft kräuselnden,
Sonnenstrahl, eilender,
Nirgend verweilender:
Die mir mit Schmerze, ach!
Dies treue Herze brach, -
Grüßt von [dem]1 Fliehenden,
Welt hinaus ziehenden!

Ve den flyktende
som trekker ut i verden!
Som krysser det fremmede,
glemmer sitt hjem,
hater sitt moderhus,
forlater sine venner,
følges ei av velsignelse, akk -
på alle sine veier.

Hjertet, det lengtende,
øyet, det tårevåte,
lengsel, uten ende
vendt mot hjemmet.
Brystet, det svellende,
klagen, klingende,
aftenstjerne blinkende,
synkende uten håp.

Vinder, dere susende,
bølger, mykt krusende,
solstråler, ilende,
aldri blivende:
Hils henne - som med smerte, akk! -
brast dette trofaste hjerte -
fra den flyktende,
rykket bort fra sitt hjem.

Ade, Du muntre, Du fröhliche Stadt, Ade!
Schon scharret mein Rösslein mit lustigem Fuß;
Jetzt nimm [meinen]1 letzten, den scheidenden Gruß.
Du hast mich wohl [nimmermehr]2 traurig gesehn,
So kann es auch jetzt nicht beim Abschied geschehn.
Ade, Du muntre, Du fröhliche Stadt, Ade!

Ade, Ihr Bäume, Ihr Gärten so grün, Ade! 
Nun reit' ich am silbernen Strome entlang,
Weit schallend ertönet mein Abschiedsgesang;
Nie habt Ihr ein [klagendes]3 Lied gehört,
So wird Euch auch keines beim Scheiden beschert.
Ade, Ihr Bäume, Ihr Gärten so grün, Ade!

Ade, Ihr freundlichen [Mägdelein]4 dort, Ade!
Was schaut Ihr aus blumenumduftetem Haus
Mit schelmischen, lockenden Blicken heraus?
Wie sonst, so grüß' ich und schaue mich um,
Doch [nimmermehr]5 wend' ich mein [Rösselein]6 um.
Ade, Ihr freundlichen [Mägdelein]4 dort, Ade!

Ade, liebe Sonne, so gehst Du zur Ruh, Ade!
Nun schimmert der blinkenden Sterne Gold.
Wie bin ich Euch Sternlein am Himmel so hold;
[Durchziehen die Welt wir]7 auch weit und breit,
Ihr gebt überall uns das treue Geleit.
Ade, liebe Sonne, so gehst Du zur Ruh, Ade!

Ade, Du schimmerndes Fensterlein hell, Ade!
Du glänzest so traulich mit dämmerndem Schein,
Und ladest so freundlich ins Hüttchen uns ein.
Vorüber, ach, ritt ich so manches mal
Und wär' es denn heute zum letzten mal?
Ade, Du schimmerndes Fensterlein hell, Ade!

Ade, Ihr Sterne, verhüllet Euch grau! - Ade!
Des [Fensterleins]8 trübes verschimmerndes Licht
Ersetzt Ihr unzähligen Sterne mir nicht;
Darf ich hier nicht weilen, muß hier vorbei,
Was hilft es [mir]9, folgt Ihr mir noch so treu!
Ade, Ihr Sterne, verhüllet Euch grau! - Ade!

Farvel! Du muntre og glade by, farvel!
Min hest tripper allerede med lystig fot;
Ta nå imot den siste adskillende hilsen.
Du har vel ennå ikke sett meg sørgmodig,
så skal heller ikke skje ved denne avskjed.

Farvel, dere trær, dere grønneste av hager, farvel!
Nå rir jeg langs den sølvskimrende elven.
Vidt gjallende toner min avskjedssang;
Aldri har dere hørt en trist vise,
den skal heller ikke skjenkes dere ved denne avskjeden.
 
Farvel, dere vennlige ungpiker, farvel!
Hvorfor skuer dere med skjelmske, lokkende
blikk ut av det blomsterduftende huset?
Hva annet kan jeg gjøre enn å hilse og se meg tilbake,
men aldri vender jeg om min hest.

Farvel, kjære sol, så går du til ro, farvel!
Nå skimrer de blinkende stjerners gull.
Hvor dere himmelens stjerner er meg kjær;
Hvor enn vi reiser i verden - vidt og bredt,
er dere overalt våre trofaste følgesvenner.
 
Farvel! Du skimrende lyse lille vindu, farvel!
Du blinker så koselig med et gryende skinn
og inviterer oss vennlig til hytten inn.
Forbi, akk, har jeg ridd så mang en gang,
og var det i dag for siste gang?
 
Farvel, dere stjerner, innhyll dere i grått! Farvel!
De små vinduenes vage, skimrende lys
kan ikke erstatte de utallige stjerner for meg,
jeg kan ikke bli her, må dra forbi,
hva har det å si, dere følger meg uansett så trofast!

Ich unglücksel'ger Atlas! eine Welt,
Die ganze Welt der Schmerzen muß ich tragen,
Ich trage Unerträgliches, und brechen
Will mir das Herz im Leibe.

Du stolzes Herz! du hast es ja gewollt,
Du wolltest glücklich seyn, unendlich glücklich
Oder unendlich elend, stolzes Herz,
Und jetzo bist du elend.

Jeg ulykkelige Atlas! En verden,
all smertes verden må jeg bære,
Jeg bærer det utålelige, og briste
vil mitt hjerte i min kropp.

Du stolte hjerte, du har jo selv ønsket det!
Du ville være lykkelig, uendelig lykkelig,
eller evig elendig, stolte hjerte,
og nå er du elendig.

Ich stand in [dunkeln]1 Träumen
Und [starrte]2 ihr Bildniß an,
Und das geliebte Antlitz
Heimlich zu leben begann.
 
Um ihre Lippen zog sich
Ein Lächeln wunderbar,
Und wie von Wehmuthsthränen
[Erglänzte]3 [ihr]4 Augenpaar.
 
Auch meine Thränen flossen
Mir von [den Wangen]5 herab -- 
Und ach, ich [kann es]6 nicht glauben,
Daß ich Dich verloren hab'!

Jeg stod i mørke drømmer
og stirret på hennes bilde,
og hennes elskelige ansikt
kom hemmelig til liv.

Rundt hennes lepper lokket
et vidunderlig smil,
og som av vedmodstårer
glitret hennes øyne.

Også mine tårer fløt
ned fra mine kinn -
og akk, jeg ikke tro det,
at jeg har mistet deg!

Du schönes Fischermädchen,
Treibe den Kahn an's Land;
Komm zu [mir und setze]1 dich nieder,
Wir kosen Hand in Hand.

Leg' an mein Herz dein Köpfchen,
Und fürchte dich nicht [zu]2 sehr,
[Vertrau'st du dich]3 doch sorglos
Täglich dem wilden Meer.

Mein Herz gleicht ganz dem Meere,
Hat Sturm und Ebb' und Fluth,
Und manche schöne Perle
In seiner Tiefe ruht.4

Du vakre fiskerjente,
Driv din pram mot land;
Kom til meg og sett deg ned,
vi skal kose hånd i hånd.

Legg ditt hode mot mitt hjerte
og vær ikke altfor redd;
Du stoler jo uten sorger på
det ville havet hver dag.

Mitt hjerte er ganske likt havet,
har storm og fjære og flo,
og mange vakre perler
hviler i dets dyp.

Am fernen Horizonte
Erscheint, wie ein Nebelbild,
Die Stadt mit ihren Thürmen,
In Abenddämmrung gehüllt.

Ein feuchter Windzug kräuselt
Die graue Wasserbahn;
Mit traurigem Tacte rudert
Der Schiffer in meinem Kahn.

Die Sonne hebt sich noch einmal
Leuchtend vom Boden empor,
Und zeigt mir jene Stelle,
Wo ich das Liebste verlor.

Ved fjerne horisonter
viser seg , som et tåkebilde,
byen med sine tårn
innhyllet i kveldsskumring.

Et fuktig vinddrag kruser
Det grå vannet;
Med en trist takt ror
skipperen min pram.

Solen stiger nok en gang
lysende opp fra  marken
og viser meg hvert et sted,
Hvor jeg mistet min elskede.

Das Meer erglänzte weit hinaus,
Im letzten Abendscheine;
Wir saßen am einsamen Fischerhaus,
Wir saßen stumm und alleine.

Der Nebel stieg, das Wasser schwoll,
Die Möve flog hin und wieder;
Aus deinen Augen, liebevoll,
Fielen die Thränen nieder.

Ich sah sie fallen auf deine Hand,
Und bin auf's Knie gesunken;
Ich hab' von deiner weißen Hand
Die Thränen fortgetrunken.

Seit jener Stunde verzehrt sich mein Leib,
Die Seele stirbt vor Sehnen; -
Mich hat das unglückseel'ge Weib
Vergiftet mit ihren Thränen.

Havet glitret langt borte
I det siste kveldslyset;
Vi satt ved det ensomme fiskerhuset,
vi satt stumme og alene.

Tåken samlet seg, vannet svulmet,
Måkene fløy fram og tilbake;
Fra dine kjærlige øyne
falt tårer.

Jeg så dem falle på din hånd
og sank ned på det ene kne;
Fra din hvite hånd
Drakk jeg tårene.

Siden denne stund fortæres mitt legeme,
Sjelen dør av lengsel;
Den ulykkelige kvinne har
forgiftet meg med sine tårer.

Still ist die Nacht, es [ruhen]1 die Gassen,
In [diesem]2 Hause wohnte mein Schatz;
Sie hat schon [längst]3 die Stadt verlassen,
Doch steht noch das Haus auf demselben Platz.

Da steht auch ein Mensch und starrt in die Höhe,
Und ringt die Hände, vor Schmerzensgewalt;
Mir [graust]4 es, wenn ich sein Antlitz sehe, -
Der Mond zeigt mir meine eigne Gestalt.

Du [Doppeltgänger]5! du bleicher Geselle!
Was äffst du nach mein Liebesleid,
Das mich gequält auf dieser Stelle,
So manche Nacht, in alter Zeit?

Natten er stille, gatene er rolige,
I dette huset bodde min skatt;
Hun har for lengst forlatt byen,
Men huset står fremdeles på den samme plass.

Der står det også et menneske og stirrer oppover
og vrir sine hender i smertens vold;
Jeg grøsser når jeg ser hans åsyn -
Månen viser meg mitt eget vesen.

Du dobbeltgjenger, du bleke venn!
hvorfor aper du etter min kjærlighets lidelse
som har gitt meg kvaler på dette sted
så mang en natt, i tidligere tider?
