Catalan (Català) translation of Warum sind denn die Rosen so blass

by Oscar Strasnoy (b. 1970), "Warum sind denn die Rosen so blass" [ duet for soprano and tenor with piano ], from Heine, no. 7

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

Return to the original list

Warum sind [denn]1 die Rosen so blaß?
O sprich mein Lieb warum?
Warum sind denn im grünen Gras
Die blauen Veilchen so stumm?

Warum singt denn mit so kläglichem Laut,
Die Lerche in der Luft?
Warum steigt denn aus dem Balsamkraut
Verwelkter Blütenduft?

Warum scheint denn die Sonn' auf die Au,
So kalt und verdrießlich herab?
Warum ist denn die Erde so grau,
Und öde wie ein Grab?

Warum bin ich selbst so krank und so trüb?
Mein liebes Liebchen sprich
O sprich mein herzallerliebstes Lieb,
Warum verließest du mich?

Das ist ein Flöten und Geigen,
Trompeten schmettern [drein]1;
Da tanzt [den]2 Hochzeitreigen
Die Herzallerliebste mein.

Das ist ein Klingen und Dröhnen,
[Von Pauken und Schalmei'n]3;
Dazwischen schluchzen und stöhnen
Die [guten]4 Engelein.

Hör' ich das Liedchen klingen,
Das einst die Liebste sang,
[So will mir die Brust]1 zerspringen
[Vor]2 wildem [Schmerzendrang.]3

[Es treibt mich]4 ein dunkles Sehnen
Hinauf [zur]5 Waldeshöh',
Dort löst sich auf in Tränen
Mein übergroßes Weh'.

Author(s): Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Perquè són les roses tan pàl·lides?
Oh, digues-me amor meu perquè.
Perquè en l’herba verda
estan les violes tan mudes?

Perquè canta amb un so tan trist 
l’alosa a l’aire?
Perquè la balsamina fa olor
de flors marcides?

Perquè el sol llueix a la prada
tan fred i sorrut?
Perquè la terra és tan gris
i erma com un sepulcre?

Perquè estic tan trist i malaltís?
Digues-me estimada meva,
oh, digues-me amor del meu cor,
perquè m’has abandonat?

Això és un tocar de flautes i violins,
amb ressò de trompetes;
allà balla en la ronda de noces
la meva estimada del cor.

Això és un dringar i sonar,
de timbales i xeremies;
entremig, sanglotegen i gemeguen
els bons angelets.

Quan sento la cançoneta,
que adés cantava la meva estimada,
em vol esclatar el cor
d'un fogós i punyent embat.

Un obscur afany m'empeny
amunt, cap a dalt del bosc,
allà es desfà en llàgrimes
el meu immens dolor.
