1. Gute Nacht [sung text checked 1 time]

Fremd bin ich eingezogen,
Fremd zieh' ich wieder aus.
Der Mai war mir gewogen
Mit manchem Blumenstrauß.
Das Mädchen sprach von Liebe,
Die Mutter gar von Eh' -
Nun ist die Welt so trübe,
Der Weg gehüllt in Schnee.

Ich kann zu meiner Reisen
Nicht wählen mit der Zeit:
Muß selbst den Weg mir weisen
In dieser Dunkelheit.
Es zieht ein Mondenschatten
Als mein Gefährte mit,
Und auf den weißen Matten
Such' ich des Wildes Tritt.

Was soll ich länger weilen,
[Bis]¹ man mich trieb' hinaus?
Laß irre Hunde heulen
Vor ihres Herren Haus!
Die Liebe liebt das Wandern, -
Gott hat sie so gemacht -
Von Einem zu dem Andern -
Fein Liebchen, gute Nacht!

Will dich im Traum nicht stören,
Wär' Schad' um deine Ruh',
Sollst meinen Tritt nicht hören -
Sacht, sacht die Thüre zu!
[Ich schreibe nur im Gehen]²
An's Thor [noch]³ gute Nacht,
Damit du mögest sehen,
[Ich hab' an dich]⁴ gedacht.

1. לילה טוב

הגעתי כזר 
וכזר אני יוצא.
חודש מאי היה רחום עלי
בשלל זרי פרחים.
הנערה דיברה על אהבה,
האם אף על נישואים.
כעת העולם כה עצוב.
הדרך עוטה כסות שלג.

איני יכול לבחור
את הזמן למסעי.
עלי לבדי להתוות את דרכי
בחשכה הזאת.
צל באור הירח
צועד עמי כמלווה.
ועל המרבד הלבן
אני מחפש את עיקבות חיות הפרא.

מדוע אשתהה
עד אשר אגורש מכאן?
תנו לכלבים הפראיים לנבוח
לפני בתי בעליהם.
האהבה מחבבת את הנדודים,
כך ברא אלוהים,
מן האחת אל השניה.
לילה טוה אהובתי.

לא אפריע את חלומותייך.
חבל על מנוחתך.
שלא תשמעי את פסיעותיי,
ברכות אסגור את הדלת אחריי.
ובעוברי אכתוב על שערייך,
"לילה טוב",
כדי שתוכלי לראות
כי חשבתי עלייך.

2. Die Wetterfahne [sung text checked 1 time]

Der Wind spielt mit der Wetterfahne
Auf meines schönen Liebchens Haus.
Da dacht' ich schon in meinem Wahne,
Sie pfiff' den armen Flüchtling aus.

Er hätt' es [ehr]¹ bemerken sollen,
Des Hauses aufgestecktes Schild,
So hätt' er nimmer suchen wollen
Im Haus' ein treues Frauenbild.

Der Wind spielt drinnen mit den Herzen,
Wie auf dem Dach, nur nicht so laut.
Was fragen sie nach meinen Schmerzen?
Ihr Kind ist eine reiche Braut.

2. השבשבת

הרוח משתעשע בשבשבת
על גג ביתה של אהובתי.
בשגעוני נדמה היה לי
שהיא מגרשת את הנמלט העלוב.

היה עליו לשים לב קודם לכן
בסמל הנעול על הבית.
אז לעולם לא היה מחפש
אישה נאמנה בתוכו.

ופנימה מתעתע הרוח בלבבות
כמו על הגג, אלא בלחש.
מה שואלים המה על כאביי?
בתם היא כלה עשירה.

3. דמעות קפואות

טיפות קפואות צונחות
מלחיי מטה.
האם בכיתי
ורק נעלם ממני הדבר?

דמעות, דמעותיי,
למרות שאתן כה פושרות,
מיד תהפכנה קרח
כמו טל הבוקר הצונן.

ועדיין נביעתכן
מחזי כה בוערת בחמה
כאילו רוצות אתן להמיס
את כל קרח החורף.

לשוא אני מחפש בשלג
את עיקבותיה
במקומות בהם, שלובה בזרועתיי,
חצתה את השדות הירוקים.

הייתי נושק לקרקע,
מבקע את הקרח והשלג
בדמעותיי החמות
עד אשר אני אראה את האדמה.

היכן אמצא פרח?
היכן אמצא עשב ירוק?
הפרחים כולם נבלו, 
העשב נראה כה חיוור.

האף לא מזכרת אחת
אקח אתי מכאן?
כאשר ימוגו כאביי,
מי יספר לי עליה?

לבי כאילו מת
ובו דיוקנה מאובן וקר.
אם אי פעם ימס לבי,
תימוג גם תמונתה?

5. Der Lindenbaum [sung text checked 1 time]

Am Brunnen vor dem Thore
Da steht ein Lindenbaum:
Ich träumt' in seinem Schatten
So manchen süßen Traum.

Ich schnitt in seine Rinde
So manches liebe Wort;
Es zog in Freud' und Leide
Zu ihm mich immer fort.

Ich mußt' auch heute wandern
Vorbei in tiefer Nacht,
Da hab' ich noch im [Dunkel]¹
Die Augen zugemacht.

Und seine Zweige rauschten,
Als riefen sie mir zu:
Komm her zu mir, Geselle,
Hier findst du deine Ruh'!

Die kalten Winde bliesen
Mir grad' in's Angesicht,
Der Hut flog mir vom Kopfe,
Ich wendete mich nicht.

Nun bin ich manche Stunde
Entfernt von jenem Ort,
Und immer hör' ich's rauschen:
Du fändest Ruhe dort!

5. עץ התירזה

ליד הבאר לפני השער
ניצב לו עץ תירזה.
בצילו חלמתי
חלומות מתוקים כה רבים.

בקליפתו חרטתי
מילות אהבה כה רבות.
משך הוא בשמחה ובצער
תמיד אותי אליו.

גם היום עלי לנדוד,
לעבור על פניו באישון לילה.
ואפילו בחשכה
עצמתי עיניי.

בדיו רחשו 
כאילו קראו אלי,
"בוא אלי,חבר,
כאן תמצא מרגוע".

רוחות קרות נשבו
הישר אל פרצופי.
כובעי הועף מראשי, 
אך לא סבתי אחור.

כעת, מרוחק אני שעות רבות
מאותו מקום.
אבל תמיד אני שומע את הרחש,
"שם היית מוצא מרגוע."

6. שטפון

דמעות רבות מעיניי
נושרות לתוך השלג.
פתיתיו הקרים סופגים,
צמא, את כאבי החם.

כאשר העשב מבקש לצוץ, 
רוח חמימה נושבת.
הקרח מתבקע גושים גושים
והשלג הרך נמס וזורם.

שלג, אתה יודע את געגועיי,
אמור לאן מועד הזרם שלך?
עליך רק ללכת בעקבות דמעותיי
ובמהרה יטול אותך הנחל.

בנתיבו תזרום דרך העיר
הלוך ושוב ברחובות העליזים,
ובמקום בו תחוש דמעותיי בוערות,
שם בית אהובתי.

7. Auf dem Flusse [sung text checked 1 time]

Der du so lustig rauschtest,
Du heller, wilder Fluß,
Wie still bist du geworden,
Giebst keinen Scheidegruß.

Mit harter, starrer Rinde
Hast du dich überdeckt,
Liegst kalt und unbeweglich
Im Sande [hingestreckt]¹.

In deine Decke grab' ich
Mit einem spitzen Stein
Den Namen meiner Liebsten
Und Stund' und Tag hinein:

Den Tag des ersten Grußes,
Den Tag, an dem ich ging,
Um Nam' und Zahlen windet
Sich ein zerbrochner Ring.

Mein Herz, in diesem Bache
Erkennst du nun dein Bild?
Ob's unter seiner Rinde
Wohl auch so reißend schwillt?

7. על הנהר

אתה , שזרימתך שוקקת בעליזות,
פלג צלול ופראי,
דממת לפטע
ואינך פורש ברכת שלום.

במעטה מוצק ונוקשה
כיסית את עצמך.
קר ודומם
אתה רובץ כל ארכך בחול.

על פניך אני חורט
באבן חדה,
את שמה של אהובתי,
את השעה ואת היום.

את היום בו ברכנו לראשונה,
את היום בו עזבתי.
לשם ולספרות
עוטר מעגל קטוע.

לבי, האם בפלג הזה
אתה מבחין בדמותך שלך?
האם גם מתחת מעטהו
תוכו סוער בפראות?

8. Rückblick [sung text checked 1 time]

Es brennt mir unter beiden Sohlen,
Tret' ich auch schon auf Eis und Schnee.
Ich möcht' nicht wieder Athem holen,
Bis ich nicht mehr die Thürme seh'.

Hab' mich an [jedem]¹ Stein gestoßen,
So eilt' ich zu der Stadt hinaus;
Die Krähen warfen Bäll' und Schloßen
Auf meinen Hut von jedem Haus.

Wie anders hast du mich empfangen,
Du Stadt der Unbeständigkeit!
An deinen blanken Fenstern sangen
Die Lerch' und Nachtigall im Streit.

Die runden Lindenbäume blühten,
Die klaren Rinnen rauschten hell,
Und ach, zwei Mädchenaugen glühten! -
Da war's geschehn um dich, Gesell!

Kömmt mir der Tag in die Gedanken,
Möcht' ich noch einmal rückwärts sehn,
Möcht' ich zurücke wieder wanken,
Vor ihrem Hause stille stehn.

8. מבט לאחור

בוערת הקרקע מתחת כפות רגליי,
למרות שאני כבר דורך על קרח ושלג.
איני רוצה לנשום שוב
עד אשר יעלמו המגדלים מעיניי.

נגפתי בכל אבן
בחפזוני לעזוב את העיר.
העורבים השליכו שלג וברד
על כובעי מעל כל בית.

עד כמה קבלת את פניי אחרת,
את, עיר של חוסר יציבות.
לפני חלונותייך הבוהקים
הנעימו הזמיר והעפרוני כמתחרים.

עצי התרזה עגולי הנוף פרחו,
תעלות המים הצלולות פרפכו
ושתי עיני הנערה היו מתנצנצות.
וזה, ידידי, היה סופך.

כאשר צץ שוב יום זה במחשבותיי, 
הייתי רוצה פעם אחת להביט לאחור.
הייתי רוצה לצלוע בחזרה
לעמוד דומם מול ביתה.

In die tiefsten Felsengründe
Lockte mich ein Irrlicht hin:
Wie ich einen Ausgang finde,
Liegt nicht schwer mir in dem Sinn.

Bin gewohnt das irre Gehen,
'S führt ja jeder Weg zum Ziel:

אל המצוקים העמוקים
משכני אור תעתועים.
כיצד אמצא מוצא
אין דעתי מוטרדת ביותר.

רגיל אני לתעות.
כל נתיב מוביל ליעד.
שמחותינו, סבסלותינו,
כולם משחק תעתועים.

לאורך הנחל החרב
אני ממשיך בהליכתי.
כל זרם זוכה במוצא לים,
כל סבל לקברו.

Da ich zur Ruh' mich lege;

Auf unwirthbarem Wege.

Der Rücken fühlte keine Last,

10. מנוחה

אני חש לראשונה עד כמה עיף אני
רק עכשו שאני שוכב לנוח.
הנדודים רוממו את רוחי
בדרכים לא דרכים.
רגליי לא בקשו להן מנוח, 
קר היה מכדי לעמוד.
גבי לא חש המעמסה,
הסערה המריצתני ללכת הלאה.

בביתו הצפוף של כורה פחם אחד
מצאתי מחסה,
אולם איבריי אינם מוצאים מנוח,
כל כך בוערים פצעיהם.
ואתא, ליבי, בקרב ובסערה
כה פראי הנך ועז,
חש לראשונה בדממה את התולעת שבך
מתנועעת עם עקצה החם.

Ich träumte von bunten Blumen,
So wie sie wohl blühen im Mai,
Ich träumte von grünen Wiesen,
Von lustigem Vogelgeschrei.

Und als die Hähne krähten,

Da war es kalt und finster,
Es schrieen die Raben vom Dach.

Doch an den Fensterscheiben,
Wer mahlte die Blätter da?
Ihr lacht wohl über den Träumer,
Der Blumen im Winter sah?

Ich träumte von Lieb' um Liebe,

Von Herzen und von Küssen,
Von [Wonn']¹ und Seligkeit.

Und als die Hähne krähten,
Da ward mein Herze wach;

Wann halt' ich [dich, Liebchen,]² im Arm?

11. חלום אביב

חלמתי על פרחים ססגוניים
כפי שפורחים במאי.
חלמתי על אחו מוריק 
ועל זמרת צפורים עליזה.

וכאשר קראו התרנגולים
היו עיניי פקוחות.
היה קר וחשוך,
העורבים צרחו מן הגג.

אך, על השמשה בחלון
מי צייר שם פרחים?
אתם לועגים לחולם
הרואה פרחים בחורף.

חלמתי על אהבה לשם אהבה,
על נערה יפיפיה,
על לבבות ונשיקות,
על תעגוג ואושר.

וכאשר קראו התרנגולים 
היה לבי ער.
והנני יושב כאן לבדי
וחושב על חלומי.

אני עוצם שוב את עיניי.
עדיין פועם לבי בחום.
מתי יוריקו העלים בחלון?
מתי אחזיק את אהובתי בזרועותיי?

12. Einsamkeit [sung text checked 1 time]

Wie eine trübe Wolke
Durch heitre Lüfte geht,
[Wann]¹ in der [Tanne]² Wipfel
Ein mattes Lüftchen weht:

So zieh' ich meine Straße
Dahin mit trägem Fuß,
Durch helles, frohes Leben,
Einsam und ohne Gruß.

Ach, daß die Luft so ruhig!
Ach, daß die Welt so licht!
Als noch die Stürme tobten,
War ich so elend nicht.

12. בדידות

כמו ענן כבד
החוצה רקיע בהיר
כאשר בצמרת האשוחים
חולף משב רוח קל,

כך הולך אני בדרכי,
גורר רגליים כבדות,
דרך חיים בהירים מלאי שמחה,
בודד וללא ברכה.

הו,  כמה שלוו האויר!
הו,  כמה העולם בהיר!
כאשר השתוללו עדיין הסערות,
לא הייתי כה אומלל.

מהרחוב קרן הדואר נשמעת.
מה לך כי תנתר בלהט,

הדואר לא מביא כל מכבת עבורך.

14. ראש שיבה

הכפור פזר לבן בוהק
על שערותיי.
לתומי חשבתי שכבר זקנתי
ושמחתי לי מאוד.

עד מהרה הוא נמוג.
שערי שוב שחור
עד שנעוריי מעוררים בי חלחלה.
כמה רחוק עוד הקבר!

מדימדומים עד אור הבוקר
ראשים רבים הופכים שיבה.
מי היה מאמין שראשי לא
בכל מסע זה?

17. בכפר

נובחים הכלבים,משקשקות שרשרות. 
נמים האנשים במיטותיהם,
חולמים על מה שאינו רכושם.
בטוב וברע משיבים את רוחם.
ולמחרת בבוקר הכל נעלם.
הם נהנו מחלק של אשרם.
מקווים כי את אשר לא השיגה ידם
ישובו למצוא על כריתם.

אנא, כלבים ערניים, הבריחוני,
אל תתנוני לנוח בשעות השינה.
נגמרו לי כל החלומות,
מדוע אוסיף לשהות במקומות הישנים?

18. הבוקר הסוער

איך קרעה הסערה
את גלימת הרקיע האפורה.
קרעי עננים מרפרפים,
מסביב במאבק קל.

ולהבות אש אדומים
מבזיקות ביניהם.
לזה אני קורא בוקר
כפי שמצטייר בעיני רוחי.

לבי רואה בשמים
טבוע את ציור דיוקנו .
זה איננו אלא החורף
החורף הקר הפרוע.

19. Täuschung [sung text checked 1 time]

Ein Licht tanzt freundlich vor mir her;
Ich folg' ihm nach die Kreuz und Quer;
Ich folg' ihm gern, und seh's ihm an,
Daß es verlockt den Wandersmann.
Ach, wer wie ich so elend ist,
Giebt gern sich hin der bunten List,
Die hinter Eis und Nacht und Graus
Ihm weist ein helles, warmes Haus,
Und eine liebe Seele drin -
Nur Täuschung ist für mich Gewinn!

19. הזיה

נצנוץ אור מפזז בחביבות לפני.
אני עוקב אחריו בכל כיוון.
עוקב אחריו ברצון ומגלה
כי הוא מפתה את הנודד.
אה! מי שעלוב כמוני
שמח להתמכר לתעתוע הססגוני,
אשר, מעבר לקרח, ולילה ואימה
מראה לו בית מואר וחם
ובתוכו פנימה נפש אהובה.
ואשר לי, רק ההזיה כל גמולי.

20. Der Wegweiser [sung text checked 1 time]

Was vermeid' ich denn die Wege,
Wo die [andren]¹ Wandrer gehn,
Suche mir versteckte Stege
Durch [verschneite]² Felsenhöhn?

Habe ja doch nichts begangen,
Daß ich Menschen sollte scheun -
Welch ein thörichtes Verlangen

Weiser stehen auf den [Straßen]³,
Weisen auf die Städte zu,
Und ich wandre sonder Maßen,
Ohne Ruh', und suche Ruh'.

Einen Weiser seh' ich stehen
Unverrückt vor meinem Blick;
Eine Straße muß ich gehen,

20. התמרור

מדוע אני סוטה מהנתיבים
בהם צועדים נודדים אחרים
ומחפש לי דרכים נעלמות
בין גבעות סלע מושלגות?

אף פשע לא בצעתי
שעלי להחבה מן הבריות.
מהי משאלה טפשית זו
המנחה אותי אל השממה?

תמרורים ניצבים בדרך
מצביעים לעירות,
ואני נודד ללא תכלית,
ללא מנוח, מחפש מנוחה.

אני רואה תמרור ניצב
איתן לנגד עיני.
בדרך אחת עלי לבחור
אשר ממנה איש לא יחזור.

Auf einen Todtenacker
Hat mich mein Weg gebracht.
Allhier will ich einkehren:

Ihr grünen Todtenkränze

In's kühle Wirthshaus ein.

Sind denn in diesem Hause
Die Kammern all' besetzt?
Bin matt zum Niedersinken,
[Und]¹ tödtlich schwer verletzt.

O unbarmherz'ge Schenke,
Doch weisest du mich ab?
Nun weiter denn, nur weiter,
Mein treuer Wanderstab!

21. הפונדק

לבית קברות
הובילה אותי דרכי.
כאן אשתהה,
הרהרתי לעצמי.

זרי פרחים מוריקים
יכולים להות האות 
המזמין את הנודדים היגעים
אל הפונדק המצונן.

האם בבית זה
תפוסים כל החדרים?
עיפתי, אני שוקע,
נפצעתי אנושות.

הו פונדק אכזר
אתה דוחני?
אם כך אז הלאה והלאה,
מקלי הנאמן.

22. אומץ לב

אם השלג מתעופף על פני,
אני מנערו מעלי.
כאשר לבי בחזי דובר,
עליז ושמח אני מזמר!

איני שומע מה שהוא דובר אלי.
אזניים אין לי.
איני מרגיש על מה הוא מקונן.
הבכי נועד לשוטים.

עליז לתוך עולם  זה
אל מול כל רוח ועונה.
אם אין אלהים עלי אדמות,
נהיה בעצמנו אלים!

23. שמשות נלוות

שלוש שמשות ראיתי ברקיע.
נעצתי בהן מבט נוקב וממושך.
והן נצבו שם יציבות
כאילו אינן חפצות לעזבני.
אבל אינכן שמשותיי!
הבטנה  בפני אחרים. 
כן, לא מזמן היו גם לי שלוש.
שקעו השתים הטובות.
שתלך בעקבותן גם השלישית.
באפלה ייטב לי.

24. איש תיבת הנגינה

שם, אחרי הכפר עומד איש תיבת הנגינה
ומסובב באצבעות קפואות כל יכולתו.

יחף על הקרח  הוא מתנודד אנה ואנה
וצלחתו הקטנה נשארת תמיד ריקה.

איש אינו מאזין לו, איש אינו מביט בו
והכלבים נוחמים מסביב הזקן.

והוא נותן לדברים להמשיך כמות שהם.
מסובב, ותיבת הנגינה אינה נחה לרגע.

זקן מופלא, האם אלך אתך?
האם תסובב את ידית תיבתך לשיריי?
