Ein junger Dichter denkt an die Geliebte

(Sung text for setting by A. Provaznik)

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Chinese (中文)

Our translations: ENG FRE FRE

Der Mond steigt aufwärts, ein verliebter Träumer,
Um auszuruhen in dem Blau der Nacht.

Ein feiner Windhauch küßt den blanken Spiegel 
Des Teiches, der sich melodisch bewegt.

O holder Klang, wenn sich zwei Dinge einen,
Die um sich zu vereinen sind geschaffen.

Ach, was sich zu vereinen ist geschaffen,
Vereint sich selten auf der dunklen Erde!

La lune monte vers le ciel, rêve...

(Sung text translation for setting by A. Provaznik)

See original

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

La lune monte vers le ciel, rêve amoureux,
Pour aller se reposer dans le bleu de la nuit ;
Un léger souffle embrasse
Le brillant miroir de l'étang
Au mélodieux mouvement.

Ô gracieuse consonance, quand s'unissent deux choses
Qui furent créées pour être réunies.
Hélas, ce qui fut créé pour se réunir
Se réunit rarement sur cette sombre terre.
