Sängers Trost

(Sung text for setting by G. Frisch)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Weint auch einst kein Liebchen
Tränen auf mein Grab,
Träufeln doch die Blumen
Milden Tau hinab;

Weilt an ihm kein Wandrer
Im Vorüberlauf,
Blickt auf seiner Reise
Doch der Mond dahin.

Denkt auf diesen Fluren
Bald kein Erdner mein,
Denkt doch mein die Aue
Und der stille Hain.

Blumen, Hain und Aue,
Stern und Mondenlicht,
Die ich sang, vergessen
Ihres Sängers nicht.

Consolation du barde

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Frisch)

See original

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

Même si un jour aucune bien-aimée
Ne verse une larme sur ma tombe,
Les fleurs quand même y verseront
De suaves gouttes de rosée ;

Si aucun voyageur
Ne s'attarde devant elle,
Dans son périple
Pourtant la lune la regarde.

Bientôt aucun être humain
Sur ces terres ne pensera à moi.
Pourtant les prairies penseront à moi,
Et le bois silencieux.

Fleurs, bois et prairies,
Lumière des étoiles et de la lune
Que je chante, n'oublient pas
Leur chantre.
