Es treibt mich hin

Es treibt mich hin, es treibt mich her!
Noch wenige Stunden, dann soll ich sie schauen,
sie selber, die schönste der schönen Jungfrauen; -
du armes Herz, was pochst du so schwer!
Die Stunden sind aber ein faules Volk!
Schleppen sich behaglich träge,
schleichen gähnend ihre Wege; -
tummle dich, du faules Volk!
Tobende Eile mich treibend erfaßt!
Aber wohl niemals liebten die Horen; -
heimlich im grausamen Bunde verschworen,
spotten sie tückisch der Liebenden Hast.

Mi sento agitato, spinto di qua, di là!
Ancora poche ore e la vedrò,
proprio lei, la più bella fra le belle fanciulle; -
Tu povero cuore, perché batti così forte!
Le ore sono davvero pigre!
Si trascinano, comode e lente,
strisciano sbadigliando per la loro via; -
affrettati, branco pigro!
Impazienza furiosa mi prende e mi agita!
Ma mai dunque hanno amato le ore; -
segretamente unite per far male complottano,
e si fanno beffe della fretta di chi ama.
