Vom verwundeten Knaben

(Sung text for setting by R. Schumann)

See base text

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE SPA

Es wollt' ein Mädchen früh aufstehn
Und in den grünen Wald spazieren gehn.

Und als sie nun in den grünen Wald kam,
Da fand sie einen verwundeten Knab'n.

Der Knab', der war von Blut so rot,
Und als sie sich verwandt, war er schon tot.

"Wo krieg' ich nun zwei Leidfräulein,
Die mein fein's Liebchen zu Grabe wein'n?

Wo krieg' ich nun sechs Reuterknab'n,
Die mein fein's Liebchen zu Grabe trag'n?

Wie lang' soll ich denn trauren geh'n?
Bis alle Wasser zusammengeh'n?

Ja, alle Wasser gehn nicht zusamm,
So wird mein Trauren kein Ende ha'n.

De un muchacho herido

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

Language: Spanish (Español) after the German (Deutsch)

Una muchacha decidió levantarse temprano
y fue a dar un paseo por el verde bosque.

Y al adentrarse en el verde bosque,
encontró allí a un muchacho herido.

El chico estaba todo ensangrentado,
y cuando ella quiso hacer algo, él ya estaba muerto.

«¿Dónde encontraré ahora dos plañideras
que lloren a mi dulce amor hasta la tumba?

¿Dónde encontraré ahora seis mozos
que lleven a mi dulce amor hasta la tumba?

¿Cuánto tiempo habré de estar de luto?
¿Hasta que todas las aguas confluyan en una?

Así es, no todas las aguas fluyen juntas,
por lo que mi duelo no tendrá fin.»
