Das Ständchen

(Sung text for setting by E. Korngold)

See base text

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE FRE ITA

Auf die Dächer zwischen blassen
Wolken scheint der Mond herfür,
Ein Student dort auf den Gassen
Singt vor seiner Liebsten Tür.

Und die Brunnen rauschen wieder
Durch die stille Einsamkeit,
Und der Wald vom Berge nieder,
Wie in alter, schöner Zeit.

So in meinen jungen Tagen
Hab ich manche Sommernacht
Auch die Laute hier geschlagen
Und manch lust'ges Lied erdacht.

Aber von der stillen Schwelle
Trugen sie mein Lieb zur Ruh,
Und du, fröhlicher Geselle,
Singe, sing nur immer zu!

La sérénade

(Sung text translation for setting by E. Korngold)

See original

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

Au-dessus des toits, entre de pâles
Nuages, la lune apparaît,
Là-bas dans la ruelle un étudiant
Chante devant la porte de sa bien‑aimée.

Alors à nouveau les fontaines murmurent
Dans la solitude silencieuse,
De même que la forêt sous la montagne,
Comme au beau vieux temps.

Ainsi, dans mes jeunes années,
Pendant de nombreuses nuits d'été
J'ai là aussi joué du luth
Et imaginé maintes joyeuses chansons.

Mais depuis le seuil silencieux
Elles ont calmé mon amour
Alors toi, joyeux compagnon,
Chante, chante sans cesse !
