Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer

Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer,
Nur wie Schleier liegt mein Kummer
  Zitternd über mir.
Oft im Traume hör' ich dich
Rufen draus vor der Thür:
Niemand wacht und öffnet dir,
  Ich erwach' und weine bitterlich.

Ja ich werde sterben müssen,
Eine andre wirst du küssen,
  Wenn ich bleich und kalt.
Eh die Maienlüfte wehen,
Eh die Drossel singt im Wald:
Willst du mich noch einmal sehen,
  Komm, o komme bald!

Carl Orff

Il mio sonno diventa sempre più leggero

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Orff)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Il mio sonno diventa sempre più leggero,
e il mio dolore sembra posarsi come un velo,
sopra di me, fluttuando.
Spesso mi sembra in sogno di sentire
Te che fuori dalla porta mi stai chiamando.
Nessuno veglia e viene ad aprire,
Io mi sveglio e amaramente piango.
 
Sì, io dovrò presto  morire,
e un'altra donna ti toccherà baciare,
quando avrò il volto pallido e freddo.
Prima che spirino le brezze di Maggio,
prima che nel bosco torni a cantare il tordo:
se vuoi vedermi ancora una volta,
allora affrettati, e da me ritorna!
