De siste fire sanger
Translations © by Marianne Beate Kielland
Song Cycle by Richard Georg Strauss (1864 - 1949)
View original-language texts alone: Vier letzte Lieder
In dämmrigen Grüften Träumte ich lang Von deinen Bäumen und blauen Lüften, Von deinem Duft und Vogelsang. Nun liegst du erschlossen In Gleiß und Zier, Von Licht übergossen Wie ein Wunder vor mir. Du kennst mich wieder, Du [lockest]1 mich zart, Es zittert durch all meine Glieder Deine selige Gegenwart.

I halvmørke krypter har jeg lenge drømt om dine blomster og den blå himmel, om din duft og fuglesang. Nå ligger du avdekket i skinnende prakt, overveldet av lys foran meg som et under. Du kjenner meg igjen, du lokker meg sart, gjennom alle mine lemmer sitrer din salige nærvær!

Der Garten trauert, Kühl sinkt in die Blumen der Regen. Der Sommer schauert Still seinem Ende entgegen. Golden tropft Blatt um Blatt Nieder vom hohen Akazienbaum. Sommer lächelt erstaunt und matt In den sterbenden Gartentraum. Lange noch bei den Rosen Bleibt er stehen, sehnt sich nach Ruh. Langsam tut er die großen Müdgewordnen Augen zu.

Hagen sørger, kjølig synker regnet ned i blomstene. Sommeren skjelver stille henimot sin endetid. Gyldent drypper blad etter blad ned fra den høye akasiebusk. Sommeren smiler forbauset og matt i den døende hagedrøm. Ved rosene blir den ennå lenge stående, lengtende etter ro. Langsomt lukker den sine store utmattede øyne igjen.

[Nun]1 der Tag mich [müd]2 gemacht, Soll mein sehnliches Verlangen Freundlich die gestirnte Nacht Wie ein müdes Kind empfangen. Hände, laßt von allem Tun, Stirn vergiß du alles Denken, Alle meine Sinne nun Wollen sich in Schlummer senken. Und die Seele unbewacht Will in freien Flügen schweben, Um im Zauberkreis der Nacht Tief und tausendfach zu leben.

Nå som dagen har gjort meg trett, Skal min inderlige lengsel Nacht vennlig motta den alvorstunge natt som et trett barn. Hender, legg bort deres gjerninger, panne, glem alle tanker, alle mine sanser vil nå synke ned i slumring. Og sjelen vil ubevoktet sveve på frie vinger, for i nattens magiske sirkel dypt og tusenfolds å leve.

Wir sind durch Not und Freude Gegangen Hand in Hand, Vom Wandern [ruhn wir beide]1 Nun überm stillen Land. Rings sich die Thäler neigen, Es dunkelt schon die Luft, Zwei Lerchen nur noch steigen Nachträumend in den Duft. Tritt her, und laß sie schwirren, Bald ist es [Schlafenszeit]2, Daß wir uns nicht verirren In dieser Einsamkeit. O weiter stiller Friede! So tief im Abendrot, Wie sind wir wandermüde -- Ist [das]3 etwa der Tod?

Gjennom nød og glede har vi vandret hånd i hånd, nå hviler vi oss etter vandringen over det stille land. Rundt oss skråner dalene, luften formørkes, kun to lerker stiger ennå ettertenksomt i tåkedisen. Kom hit, og la dem svirre, snart er det sovetid, slik at vi ikke går oss vill i denne ensomhet. Å, vide, stille fred! Så dypt i aftenrøden, Hvor trette vi er av å gå -- Kan dette muligens være døden? --
