Du bist fern

(Sung text for setting by J. Stuckenschmidt)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE IRI POR

In meinem Garten die Nelken
mit ihrem Purpurstern
müssen nun alle verwelken,
   denn du, ach du bist fern.

Auf meinem Herde die Flammen
die ich bewacht so gern,
sanken in Asche zusammen,
   denn du, ach du bist fern.

Die Welt ist mir verdorben,
mich grüßt nicht Blume nicht Stern,
mein Herz ist lange gestorben,
   denn du bist fern.

Note for stanza 1, line 4: in Stuckenschmidt's setting, "du, ach du" returns to the original "du" in the repetition.

Canção

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Stuckenschmidt)

See original

Language: Portuguese (Português) after the German (Deutsch)

Os cravos no meu jardim,
Com a sua estrela púrpura,
Devem estar todos murchos,
Pois tu estás longe.

No meu fogão, as chamas,
Que eu tanto gostava de vigiar,
Reduziram-se a cinzas,
Pois tu estás longe.

O mundo para mim está estragado,
Nem as flores nem as estrelas me sorriem,
O meu coração morreu há muito,
pois tu estás longe! Tão longe!
