Auf einer Burg

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE HEB ITA NOR POR SPA

  Eingeschlafen auf der Lauer
Oben ist der alte Ritter;
Drüber gehen Regenschauer
Und der Wald rauscht durch das Gitter.

  Eingewachsen Bart und Haare
Und versteinert Brust und Krause,
Sitzt er viele hundert Jahre
Oben in der stillen Klause.

  Draußen ist es still und friedlich,
Alle sind ins Thal gezogen,
Waldesvögel einsam singen
In den leeren Fensterbogen.

  Eine Hochzeit fährt da unten
Auf dem Rhein im Sonnenscheine,
Musikanten spielen munter,
Und die schöne Braut die weinet.

Confirmed with Gedichte von Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff, Leipzig: C.F. Amelangs Verlag, 1892, page 28.

על ארמון

Language: Hebrew (עברית) after the German (Deutsch)

ישן על משמרתו
יושב לו למעלה האביר הזקן.
שם עוברים ממטרים
והיער רוחש מבעד הסורגים.

שערו וזקנו פרא גדלים,
חזהו וצווארו מאובנים.
כך יושב לו מאות בשנים
למעלה בדממת התא.

בחוץ הכל שקט ושלו.
הכל עברו לעמק.
רק ציפורי יער בודדות מזמרות
בקמרונות החלונות הריקים.

מסע חתונה עובר שם למטה
בנהר הריין באור השמש.
מוסיקאים מנגנים בשמחה
והכלה היפה – היא בוכה.
