Heimkehr

(Sung text for setting by R. Strauss)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Leiser schwanken die Äste,
Der Kahn fliegt uferwärts,
Heim kehrt die Taube zum Neste,
Zu dir kehrt heim mein Herz.

Genug am schimmernden Tage,
Wenn rings das Leben lärmt,
Mit irrem Flügelschlage
Ist es ins Weite geschwärmt.

Doch nun die Sonne geschieden,
Und Stille sich senkt auf den Hain,
Fühlt es: bei dir ist der Frieden,
Die Ruh' bei dir allein.

Richard Georg Strauss

Thuiskomen

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Strauss)

See original

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

Zachter wiegen de takken,
De boot glijdt naar de kant,
Naar ’t nest gaat ‘t duifje afzakken,
Bij jou mijn hart weer landt.

Het is op stralende dagen,
Als ’t leven roept en krijst,
Met dwaze vleugelslagen 
Genoeg naar ver weg gereisd.

Maar nu de zon is vergleden
En stilte neerdaalt algemeen,
Voelt het: bij jou is de vrede,
De rust bij jou alleen.
