Eine Geige in den Gärten

(Sung text for setting by C. Knayer)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Weit aus allen dunklen Talen
Kommt der süße Amselschlag,
Und mein Herz in stummen Qualen
Lauscht und zittert bis zum Tag.

Lange, mondbeglänzte Stunden
Liegt mein Sehnen auf der Wacht,
Leidet an geheimen Wunden
Und verblutet in die Nacht.

Eine Geige in den Gärten
Klagt herauf mit weichem Strich,
Und ein tiefes Müdewerden
Kommt erlösend über mich.

Fremder Saitenspieler drunten,
Der so weich und dunkel klagt,
Wo hast du das Lied gefunden,
Das mein ganzes Sehnen sagt?

Un violon dans les jardins

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Knayer)

See original

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

Venu de tous les sombres vallons
Arrive le doux chant du merle
Et mon cœur saisi d'une peur muette
Écoute et tremble jusqu'au jour.

Pendant les longues heures de clair de lune
Ma nostalgie est aux aguets,
Souffre de blessures secrètes
Et saigne dans la nuit.

Un violon dans les jardins
Élève le trait de sa douce plainte 
Et une profonde lassitude
M'apporte la délivrance.

Étrange violoniste qui élève
Une plainte si douce et si sombre,
Où as-tu trouvé le chant
Qui dit toute ma nostalgie ?
