An Chloen

(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE ITA

Die Munterkeit ist meinen Wangen,
Den Augen Glut und Sprach entgangen;
Der Mund will kaum ein Lächeln wagen;
Kaum will der welke Leib sich tragen,
Der Bluhmen am Mittage gleicht,
Wann Flora lechzt und Zephyr weicht.

 ... 

Ich seh auf sie mit bangem Sehnen,
Und kann den Blick nicht weggewöhnen:
Die Anmuth, die im Auge wachet
Und um die jungen Wangen lachet,
Zieht meinen weggewichnen Blick
Mit güldnen Banden stets zurück.

Mein Blut strömt mit geschwindern Güssen;
Ich brenn, ich zittre, sie zu küssen;
Ich suche sie mit wilden Blicken,
Und Ungeduld will mich ersticken,
Indem ich immer sehnsuchtsvoll
Sie sehn und nicht umarmen soll.

À Chloé

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

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

La vivacité a quitté mes joues,
Mes yeux ont perdu leur ardeur et leur expression ;
Ma bouche ose à peine sourire ;
Je peux à peine porter mon corps flétri,
Comme les fleurs à midi,
Quand Flora meurt de soif et Zéphyr défaille.

 ... 

Mon sang coule avec des jets rapides,
Je brûle, je tremble de l'embrasser ;
Je la cherche avec des yeux sauvages,
Et l'impatience m'étouffe,
Car, toujours plein de désir,
Je la vois et ne peux pas l'embrasser.

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,3-4 of the original text.
