Nächtens übern kahlen Anger

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE ITA

Nächtens übern kahlen Anger
Gaukelt sie in Fieberträumen.
Mürrisch greint der Wind im Anger
Und der Mond lauscht aus den Bäumen.

Balde rings die Sterne bleichen
Und ermattet von Beschwerde
Wächsern ihre Wangen bleichen.
Fäulnis wittert aus der Erde.

Traurig rauscht das Rohr im Tümpel
Und sie friert in sich gekauert.
Fern ein Hahn kräht. Übern Tümpel
Hart und grau der Morgen schauert.

Di notte vaga sopra un deserto campo

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

Di notte vaga sopra un deserto campo
Sorvolandolo tutto in un febbrile sogno.
S'ode il lamento del vento per il campo
E la luna, fra gli alberi, è in ascolto.
 
Intorno impallidisce il firmamento
Ed anche a lei tutto il viso scolora,
Dal grave peso della vita affranto.
Ed il terreno di putredine odora.
 
La canna fruscia triste nello stagno
Lei gela: il capo su se stessa chino.
Canta lontano un gallo. Sullo stagno,
Duro e grigio rabbrividisce il mattino.
