Scheiden und Meiden

(Sung text for setting by G. Mahler)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE ITA ITA

Es ritten drei Reiter zum Tor hinaus,
    Ade!
Feins Liebchen schaute zum Fenster hinaus,
    Ade!
Und wenn es denn soll geschieden sein,
So reich mir dein goldenes Ringelein,
    Ade! Ade! Ade!
Ja, scheiden und meiden tut weh.

 ... 

Es scheidet das Kind wohl in der Wieg',
    Ade!
Wenn werd' ich mein Schätzel wohl kriegen?
    Ade!
Und ist es nicht morgen? Ach wär' es doch heut,
Es macht' uns allbeiden gar große Freud',
    Ade! Ade! Ade!
Ja, scheiden und meiden tut weh.

Se séparer et partir

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Mahler)

See original

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

Trois cavaliers sortaient à cheval par la porte !
Adieu !
La charmante bien-aimée regardait dehors par la fenêtre !
Adieu !
Et si, après tout, il faut se quitter,
Alors donne-moi ton petit anneau d'or.
Adieu ! Adieu ! Adieu !
Oui, se séparer et partir fait mal !
