Jetzt rede du!

(Sung text for setting by K. Löbl)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Du warest mir ein täglich Wanderziel,
Viellieber Wald, in dumpfen Jugendtagen,
Ich hatte dir geträumten Glücks so viel
Anzuvertraun, so wahren Schmerz zu klagen.

Und wieder sah ich dich, du dunkler Horst,
Und deines Wipfelmeers gewaltig Rauschen -
Jetzt rede du! Ich lasse dir das Wort!
Verstummt ist Klag und Jubel. Ich will lauschen.

Karl Maria Löbl

Maintenant parle !

(Sung text translation for setting by K. Löbl)

See original

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

Tu m'étais un but de promenade,
Forêt bien-aimée du temps estompé de ma jeunesse
Je t'avais confié tant de rêves de bonheur,
Adressé tant de véritables et douloureuses plaintes.

Et à nouveau je vous cherche, sombre refuge,
Et puissant souffle de tes cimes ;
Maintenant, parle ! je te laisse la parole !
Mes plaintes et mon allégresse se sont tues, je veux écouter.
