Meerfahrt

(Sung text for setting by R. Franz)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FIN FRE ITA LIT

Mein Liebchen, wir sassen beisammen,
Traulich im leichten Kahn.
Die Nacht war still, und wir schwammen
Auf öder Wasserbahn.

Die Geisterinsel, die schöne,
Lag dämm'rig im Mondenglanz;
Dort klangen liebe Töne,
Und wogte der Nebeltanz.

Dort klang es lieb und lieber,
Und wogt' es hin und her;
Wir aber schwammen vorüber,
Trostlos auf weitem Meer.

Kultaseni, me istuimme yhdessä

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Franz)

See original

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the German (Deutsch)

Kultaseni, me istuimme yhdessä
lähekkäin pienessä veneessä;
yö oli vaiti, ja me kelluimme
aavalla ulapalla.

Kaunis Aavesaari
lepäsi haaveillen kuun loisteessa;
siellä kaikuivat suloiset sävelet,
siellä sumu aaltoili kuin tanssissa.

Musiikki kaikui yhä suloisempana,
ja aaltoili joka suuntaan;
mutta me ajelehdimme ohitse
toivottomina aavalla merellä.
