Winterlied

(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Keine Blumen blühn;
Nur das Wintergrün
Blickt durch Silberhüllen;
Nur das Fenster füllen
Blumen roth und weiß,
Aufgeblüht aus Eis.
 
Ach! kein Vogelsang
Tönt mit frohem Klang;
Nur die Winterweise
Jener kleinen Meise,
Die am Fenster schwirrt,
Und um Futter girrt.
 
Minne flieht den Hain,
Wo die Vögelein
Sonst im grünen Schatten
Ihre Nester hatten;
Minne flieht den Hain,
Kehrt ins Zimmer ein.
 
Kalter Januar,
Hier werd' ich fürwahr,
Unter Minnespielen,
Deinen Frost nicht fühlen!
Walte immerdar,
Kalter Januar!

Chant d'hiver

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

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

Aucune fleur ne fleurit,
Seul le vert de l'hiver
Regarde à travers le manteau argenté ;
La fenêtre est remplie seulement
Avec des fleurs rouges et blanches,
Qui fleurissent hors de la glace.

Hélas, aucun chant d'oiseau
Ne retentit avec des notes joyeuses,
Seulement les accents hivernaux
Des petites mésanges
Qui sifflent à la fenêtre
Et chantent pour de la nourriture.

L'amour fuit le bosquet,
Où les petits oiseaux
Naguère dans l'ombre verte
Avaient leurs nids ;
L'amour fuit le bosquet,
Et revient dans la chambre.

Janvier froid,
Ici, vraiment,
Parmi les jeux d'amour,
Je ne sens pas ton gel.
Règne toujours,
Froid janvier !
