An die Stolze

(Sung text for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Und gleichwohl kann ich anders nicht,
Ich muß ihr günstig sein,
Obgleich der Augen stolzes Licht
Mir mißgönnt seinen Schein.
Ich will, ich soll, ich soll, ich muß dich lieben,
Dadurch wir beid' uns nur betrüben,
Weil mein Wunsch doch nicht gilt
Und du nicht hören wilt.

Wie manchen Tag, wie manche Nacht,
Wie manche liebe Zeit
Hab' ich mit Klagen durchgebracht,
Und du verlachst mein Leid!
Du weißt, du hörst, du hörst, du siehst die Schmerzen,
Und nimmst der' keinen doch zu Herzen,
So daß ich zweifle fast,
Ob du ein Herze hast.

A la dona altiva

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

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

I tanmateix no puc fer res més
que estar favorablement predisposat amb ella,
malgrat que la llum altiva dels seus ulls
em doni a contracor llur esclat.
Jo vull, jo t’hauria, jo t’hauria, jo haig d’estimar-te,
per això, tots dos serem malaurats,
car el meu desig és en va
i tu no el vols escoltar.

Quants dies, quantes nits,
quant de temps
he passat planyent-me,
i tu et burles del meu sofriment!
Tu saps, tu sents, tu sents, tu veus la meva pena,
i no t’arriba al cor,
cosa que em fa dubtar
de si tu tens un cor.
