Wer machte dich so krank?

(Sung text for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Daß du so krank geworden,
Wer hat es denn gemacht? --
Kein kühler Hauch aus Norden
Und keine Sternennacht.

Kein Schatten unter Bäumen,
Nicht Glut des Sonnenstrahls,
Kein Schlummern und kein Träumen
Im Blütenbett des Tals.

 ... 

Daß ich trag' Todeswunden,
Das ist der Menschen Tun;
Natur ließ mich gesunden,
Sie lassen mich nicht ruhn.

Que t'a‑t‑on donc fait

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Que t'a-t-on donc fait
Qui t'a rendu si malade ?
Ce n'est pas le souffle froid du nord
Et pas la nuit étoilée.

Pas l' ombre sous les arbres,
Pas l'ardeur des rayons du soleil.
Pas le sommeil, et pas les rêves
Dans le lit fleuri du val.

 ... 


Ces blessures mortelles que je porte,
Sont l'œuvre des hommes ;
La nature m'a donné une bonne santé,
Ils ne m'ont pas laissé en repos.

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,2,4 of the original text.
