Iphigenia

(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Blüht denn hier an Tauris Strande
Aus dem theuren Vaterlande 
Keine Blume, weht kein Hauch
Aus den seligen Gefilden,
Wo Geschwister mit mir spielten? -
Ach, mein Leben ist ein Rauch!

Trauernd wank' ich in dem Haine, -
Keine Hoffnung nähr' ich - keine,
Meine Heimath zu erseh'n; -
Und die See mit hohen Wellen,
Die an Klippen sich zerschellen,
Übertäubt mein leises Fleh'n.

Göttin, die du mich gerettet,
An die Wildnis angekettet, -
Rette mich zum zweitenmal; -
Gnädig lasse mich den Meinen,
Laß' o Göttinn! mich erscheinen
In des großen Königs Saal!

Note: Schubert received Mayrhofer's texts generally in handwriting; the printed edition of Mayrhofer's poems appeared much later and presents the texts usually in a revised version.

Ifigènia

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Aquí, al litoral de Tàurida, no hi creix
cap flor del país hel•lènic?
No bufa cap oreig suau
dels benaventurats camps
on les meves germanes jugaven amb mi? –
Ai, la meva vida és un no res!

Amb tristor, camino vacil•lant per el boscatge –
no nodreixo cap esperança – cap,
de tornar a veure la meva pàtria,
i el mar amb les seves grans onades
que rompen contra les roques,
eixorda les meves apagades súpliques.

Oh deessa, tu que m’has salvat
i encadenat en aquest lloc desert,
salva’m una segona vegada;
sigues indulgent i deixa’m, oh deessa,
comparèixer davant la meva gent,
a la sala del magne rei!
