Wohl fühl' ich wie das Leben rinnt

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Wohl fühl ich, wie das Leben rinnt,
Und daß ich endlich scheiden muß,
Daß einmal doch das letzte Lied
Und einmal kommt der letzte Kuß.

Noch häng' ich fest an deinem Mund
Mit schmerzlich bangender Begier;
Du gibst der Jugend letzten Gruß,
Die letzte Rose gibst du mir.

Du schenkst aus jenem Zauberkelch
Den letzten goldnen Trunk mir ein;
Du bist aus jener Märchenwelt
Mein allerletzter Abendschein.

Am Himmel steht der letzte Stern,
O halte nicht dein Herz zurück;
Zu deinen Füßen sink ich hin,
Ich fühl's, du bist mein letztes Glück!

Bé sento com passa la vida

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schreker)

See original

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

Bé sento com passa la vida
i que finalment haig de marxar,
que la darrera cançó
i la darrera besada finalment vindran.

Encara estic aferrat als teus llavis
en un dolorós, neguitós deler;
tu m’ofereixes el darrer bes de la joventut,
em dones la darrera rosa.

D’aquell màgic calze, tu em serveixes
la darrera beguda daurada;
d’aquell món de llegenda,
tu ets el darrer besllum del capvespre.

Al cel hi ha la darrera estrella,
oh, no refrenis el teu cor;
als teus peus m’agenollo,
oh, fes-te càrrec, tu ets la meva darrera benaurança!
