Warte, warte wilder Schiffmann

Warte, warte, wilder Schiffmann,
gleich folg' ich zum Hafen dir;
von zwei Jungfraun nehm' ich Abschied,
von Europa und von ihr.

Blutquell, rinn' aus meinen Augen,
Blutquell, brich aus meinem Leib,
daß ich mit dem heißen Blute
meine Schmerzen niederschreib'.

Ei, mein Lieb, warum just heute
schaudert's dich, mein Blut zu sehn?
Sahst mich bleich und herzeblutend
lange Jahre vor dir stehn! Oh!

Kennst du noch das alte Liedchen
von der Schlang' im Paradies,
die durch schlimme Apfelgabe
unsern Ahn ins Elend stieß.

Alles Unheil brachten Äpfel!
Eva bracht' damit den Tod,
Eris brachte Trojas Flammen,
du brachst'st beides, Flamm' und Tod.

Espera, espera, salvatge mariner

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

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

Espera, espera, salvatge mariner,
ara mateix et seguiré a port;
m’acomiado de dues donzelles,
d’Europa i d’ella.

Un doll de sang raja dels meus ulls,
un doll de sang brolla del meu cos,
a fi que, amb aquesta sang calenta,
pugui escriure les meves penes.

Ai, amor meu, per què justament avui
t’esgarrifes en veure la meva sang?
M’has vist pàl·lid i amb el cor sagnant
durant molts anys davant teu!

Coneixes encara la vella cançó
de la serp al Paradís
que, per la maligne ofrena d’una poma,
empenyé els nostres avantpassats a la dissort.

Tota la desgràcia la portaren les pomes!
Eva portà amb la poma la mort,
Eris portà les flames a Troia,
i tu portares ambdues, la flama i la mort.
