Sprache der Liebe

(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE ITA SPA

Laß dich mit gelinden Schlägen
Rühren, meine zarte Laute!
Da die Nacht hernieder thaute,
Müssen wir Gelispel pflegen.
Wie sich deine Töne regen,
Wie sie athmen, klagen, stöhnen,
Wallt das Herz zu meiner Schönen,
Bringt ihr aus der Seele Tiefen
Alle Schmerzen, welche schliefen;
Liebe denkt in süßen Tönen.

 ...

Note: the text above is taken from stanza 1 of the original text.

Note: the text was first published in Friedrich Schlegel's Europa as the third of four variations on the following theme by Ludwig Tieck:

Liebe denkt in süßen Tönen,
Denn Gedanken stehn zu fern,
Nur in Tönen mag sie gern
Alles, was sie will, verschönen.

These four lines constitute in each of the variations the final line of each stanza, respectively. Variation I and Variation IV are in fact not Schlegel's (they are from Frau B*) and have not been included in Schlegel's collected works, while variations II and III have been provided there with the subtitles Erste Weise and Zweyte Weise.

Llenguatge de l'amor

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

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

Amb tocs suaus deixa’m fer-te sonar
gentil llaüt meu!
Ara que cau la rosada de la nit,
hem de tenir cura i parlar xiuxiuejant.
Tal com ressonen les teves notes,
com alenen, es planyen, gemeguen,
flueix el meu cor vers la meva estimada,
emportant-se del fons de la seva ànima
totes les penes dorments;
l’amor pensa amb dolces tonalitats.

Note: the text above is taken from stanza 1 of the original text.
