Bei einer Trauung

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE FRE HEB ITA SPA

Vor lauter hochadligen Zeugen
copuliert man ihrer Zwei;
die Orgel hängt voll Geigen,
der Himmel nicht, mein' Treu!

Seht doch, sie weint ja greulich,
er macht ein Gesicht abscheulich!
Denn leider freilich, freilich
keine Lieb' ist nicht dabei.

בִפְנֵי עֵדִים וּבְרֹב טֶקֶס
מִלְמוּל, שְׁבוּעָה וְעוֹד בְּרָכָה,
אוֹרְגָן הוֹמֶה, נוֹהֵם בְּרֶגֶש
חֻפַּת-שָׁמַיִם – כְּלוּם; אֲנָחָה...

גּוֹעָה בְּבֶכִי, מְמָרֶרֶת,                                 גּוֹעָה בְּבֶכִי, מְמָרֶרֶת,
הוּא – מְרִירוּת וּמְבוּכָה                             סִבְרוֹ חָתוּם, כִּמְעַט עוֹיֵן
וְהַעֻבְדָּה הַמְּצַמְרֶרֶת:                                 וְהַעֻבְדָּה הַמְּצַמְרֶרֶת:
אַהֲבָה-כָּאן אֵין. פָּסְחָה.                              אַהֲבָה-כָּאן אַיִן; אֵין.
