Die Einsiedelei

(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Amat nemus et fugit urbes.
                          Horat. 

Es rieselt, klar und wehend,
Ein Quell im Eichenwald; 
Da wähl' ich, einsam gehend,
Mir meinen Aufenthalt.
Mir dienet zur Capelle
Ein Gröttchen, duftigfrisch;
Zu meiner Klausnerzelle
Verschlungenes Gebüsch.

 ... 

Nichts unterbricht das Schweigen
Der Wildniß weit und breit,
Als wenn auf dürren Zweigen
Ein Grünspecht hackt und schreyt,
Ein Rab' auf hoher Spitze
Bemooster Tannen krächzt,
Und in der Felsenritze
Ein Ringeltäubchen ächzt.

L'ermitage

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

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

Amat nemus et fugit urbes.
                          Horat. 

Claire et ondoyante, elle coule,
La source dans le bois de chênes ;
Là je choisis, sur mon chemin solitaire,
De m'arrêter.
Pour me servir de chapelle,
Une grotte, odorante et fraîche ;
Pour ma cellule d'ermite
Des buissons épais.

 ... 

Rien ne trouble le silence
De la contrée sauvage tout alentour,
sauf si sur des branches mortes
Un pivert donne des coups et crie,
Un corbeau du haut d'un sapin
Plein de mousse croasse
Et dans une crevasse de rochers
Un pigeon à collier gémit.

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,2,5 of the original text.
