"Und nun ade, mein herzallerliebster Schatz,
Jetzt muß ich wohl scheiden von dir,
Bis auf den andern Sommer,
Dann komm' ich wieder zu dir."

Und als der junge Knab heimkam,
Von seiner Liebsten fing er an:
"Wo ist meine Herzallerliebste,
Die ich verlassen hab'?"

Auf dem Kirchhof liegt sie begraben,
Heut ist's der dritte Tag,
Das Trauern und das Weinen
Hat sie zum Tod gebracht.

"Jetzt will ich auf den Kirchhof gehen,
Will suchen meiner Liebsten Grab,
Will ihr allweil rufen,
Bis daß sie mir Antwort gibt.

Ei, du mein herzallerliebster Schatz,
Mach' auf dein tiefes Grab,
Du hörst kein Glöcklein läuten,
Du hörst kein Vöglein pfeifen,
Du siehst weder Sonne noch Mond!"

Gustav Mahler

Non vedersi mai più

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Mahler)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

"Ed ora addio, tesoro del mio cuore,
debbo partire ormai e ti debbo lasciare,
solo quando l'estate tornerà a fiorire,
al tuo fianco di nuovo potrò ritornare."
 
E quando il giovane fece ritorno,
della sua bella domandò intorno:
"Dove si trova il tesoro del mio cuore,
che tempo fa ho dovuto lasciare?"
 
"E' stata appena portata al camposanto,
giace sepolta da tre giorni soltanto,
furono i pianti ed il dolore forte,
che l'hanno consumata fino alla morte."
 
"Subito al cimitero voglio andare,
la tomba del mio amore voglio cercare,
invocherò il suo nome senza mai sosta
finché non giungerà una sua risposta.
 
Orsù, mia dolcissima amata,
la tua profonda fossa spalanca,
non senti più le campane suonare,
né senti più gli uccelli cantare,
il sole e la luna non puoi più vedere!"
