Mariettas Lied

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE FRI ITA SPA

Marietta
Glück, das mir verblieb,
rück zu mir, mein treues Lieb.
Abend sinkt im Haag
bist mir Licht und Tag.
Bange pochet Herz an Herz
Hoffnung schwingt sich himmelwärts.

Paul
Wie wahr, ein traurig Lied.

Marietta
Das Lied vom treuen Lieb,
das sterben muss.

Paul
Ich kenne das Lied.
Ich hört es oft in jungen,
in schöneren Tagen.
Es hat noch eine Strophe --
weiß ich sie noch?

  Naht auch Sorge trüb,
  rück zu mir, mein treues Lieb.
  Neig dein blaß Gesicht
  Sterben trennt uns nicht.
  Mußt du einmal von mir gehn,
  glaub, es gibt ein Auferstehn.

It liet fan Marietta

Language: Frisian after the German (Deutsch)

Marietta
Lok, mij noch oerbleaun,
Kom bij mij, myn trouwe freon.
Skimer falt oer ’t gea.
Bist mij ljocht en dei.
Bang slaan harten tsjin elkoar -
Hoop sjucht nei de himeldoar.

Paul
Hoe wier, in treurich liet.

Marietta
It liet fan leafde‘ en trou,
Dy’t stjerre moat.

Paul
Ik ken dat liet.
Ik heard’ it faak yn jonge,
Yn moaiere dagen.
It hat noch in strofe –
Wit ik dat noch?

   Wurdst troch soargen dreaun,
   Kom bij mij, myn trouwe freon.
   Hef dyn bleek gesicht,
   Deagean falt uus licht:
   Moatsto ienris fan mij gean,
   Leau, do kinst ek wer opstean.
