No... svaniti non sono i sogni, e cedo

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG GER

No... svaniti non sono i sogni, e cedo,
e m'abbandono a le carezze loro:
chiudo li occhi pensosi e ti rivedo
come in un nimbo di faville d'oro!

Tu mi soridi amabilmente, e chiedo
de'lunghi affanni miei gentil ristoro!
A le dolci lusinghe ancora io credo
a'l ricantar de le speranze in coro.

Ecco... io tendo le mani! ecco a'l rapito pensier
già tutto esulta, e un vivo foco
di sospir, di desío corre le vene!

Ma... tu passi ne l'aere, a'l par di lene
nuvola dileguante a poco a poco,
per lontano orizzonte ... indefinito!

Nein... nicht sind verflogen die Träume,...

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)

Nein... nicht sind verflogen die Träume, und ich
gebe nach und überlasse mich ihrer Liebkosung:
Nachdenklich schließ’ ich die Augen, und dich seh’ ich wieder
umstrahlt wie vom Glorienschein goldener Funken!

Du lächelst mich liebevoll an, und ich erbitte
gnädig Erlösung aus meinem endlosen Kummer!
Noch einmal glaub’ ich an jene süßen Verlockungen,
Hoffnungen, die mir im Chor wieder erklingen!

Hier... ich reiche die Hände! Ach, zu diesem entrückten
Gedanken jubelt schon alles, und ein lebhaftes Feuer
des Seufzens und des Begehrens rast mir durch die Adern!

Doch... schon entschwindest du mir, so wie
nach und nach eine leichte Wolke zerfließt,
am fernen, unbestimmten Horizonte!...
