Daphne am Bach

(Sung text for setting by J. Kraus)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Ich hab ein Bächlein funden
Vom Städtchen ziemlich weit,
Da bin ich manche Stunden
In stiller Einsamkeit.
Ich thät mir gleich erkiesen
Ein Plätzchen kühles Moos;
Da sitz' ich, und da fließen
Mir Thränen in den Schooß.

Für dich, für dich nur wallet
Mein jugendliches Blut;
Doch, leise nur erschallet
Dein Nam' an dieser Flut.
Ich fürchte, daß mich täusche
Ein Lauscher aus der Stadt;
Es schreckt mich das Geräusche
Von jedem Pappelblatt.

 ... 

Von meinem Blumenhügel
Sah ich dir lange nach;
Ich wünschte mir die Flügel
Der Täubchen auf dem Dach;
Nun glaub' ich zu vergehen
Mit jedem Augenblick.
Willst du dein Liebchen sehen,
So komme bald zurück!

Dafne al rierol

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Kraus)

See original

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

He trobat un rierol
prou lluny de la ciutat,
i allà he passat moltes hores
en tranquil•la solitud.
He escollit el mateix
lloc a la molsa fresca;
sec allà, i em cauen
llàgrimes a la falda.

Per tu, tan sols per tu, bull
la meva sang jovenívola;
però, només fluixet ressona
el teu nom en aquest corrent.
Tinc por que em traeixi
un espió de la ciutat;
m’espanta la fressa que fa
cada fulla del pollancre.

 ... 

Des del meu tossal florit
et seguiren molt de temps els meus ulls;
voldria tenir ales
com el petit colom a la teulada;
Ara crec que em puc morir
en qualsevol moment.
Si vols reveure la teva estimada,
torna aviat!
