Schlechtes Wetter

(Sung text for setting by R. Strauss)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA JPN SPA SPA

Das ist ein schlechtes Wetter,
Es regnet und stürmt und schneit;
Ich sitze am Fenster und schaue
Hinaus in die Dunkelheit.

Da schimmert ein einsames Lichtchen,
Das wandelt langsam fort;
Ein Mütterchen mit dem Laternchen
Wankt über die Straße dort.

Ich glaube, Mehl und Eier
Und Butter kaufte sie ein;
Sie will einen Kuchen backen
Für's große Töchterlein.

Die liegt zu Haus im Lehnstuhl
Und blinzelt schläfrig ins Licht;
Die goldenen Locken wallen
Über das süße Gesicht.

Richard Georg Strauss

Fa mal temps

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Strauss)

See original

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

Fa mal temps,
plou, hi ha tempesta i neva;
sec a la finestra i miro
enfora a la foscúria.

Allà hi brilla una llumeta solitària
que s’allunya lentament;
una velleta amb una petita llanterna
camina insegura pel carrer.

Crec que ha comprat
farina, ous i mantega;
farà un pastís
per a la seva filleta gran.

Ella és a casa, seu en una butaca
i somnolent parpelleja a la llum;
els seus daurats rínxols
onegen damunt el seu dolç rostre.
