Klage

(Sung text for setting by J. Móry)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

  In diesen welken Tagen,
wo Alles bald zu Ende ist,
sturmzerfetzte Sonnenblumen
  über dunkle Zäune ragen,

     Wolken jagen
und den Boden flammenfarbne
   Blätterstürze schlagen:

da müssen wir nun tragen,
was wir uns mußten sagen

  an diesen welken Tagen.

Composition:

Ján Móry

Plainte

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Móry)

See original

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


En ces jours fanés,
Où tout est proche de la fin,
Des hélianthes déchirés par la tempête
S'élèvent au-dessus de la sombre clôture.

Des nuages courent
Et la chute des feuilles pare
Le sol de ses couleurs de feu :

Maintenant nous devons supporter
Ce que nous devons nous dire

En ces jours fanés.
