Klage

(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE

Die Sonne steigt, die Sonne sinkt,
Des Mondes Wechselscheibe blinkt,
Des Aethers Blau durchwebt mit Glanz
Der Sterne goldner Reihentanz:

Doch es durchströmt der Sonne Licht,
Des Mondes lächelndes Gesicht,
Der Sterne Reigen, still und hehr,
Mit Hochgefühl dies Herz nicht mehr!

Die Wiese blüht, der Büsche Grün
Ertönt von Frühlingsmelodien,
Es wallt der Bach im Abendstral
Hinab ins hainumkränzte Thal:

Doch es erhebt der Haine Lied,
Die Au, die tausendfarbig blüht,
Der Erlenbach im Abendlicht
Wie vormals meine Seele nicht!

Klaaglied

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

De zon stijgt op, de zon, zij zinkt,
De schijf der maan, zo wiss'lend, blinkt,
Het etherblauw weeft alom glans
Door 't sterrenveld in gouden dans;

Maar toch doorstroomt het zonnelicht,
De maan, zo minzaam van gezicht,
De sterrendans, dat hoog verkeer,
Met blij gevoel dit hart niet meer.

De weide bloeit, het struikengroen
Is vol muziek van 't vroeg seizoen,
De beek glanst licht in d' avondval
Omlaag naar 't bosomzoomde dal;

Maar toch wordt door het bossenlied,
Het veld dat duizend kleuren biedt,
De elzenbeek in 't avondlicht,
Mijn ziel, als eerst, niet opgericht!
