Fischerweise

Language: German (Deutsch)

Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE GRE HEB ITA SPA

Den Fischer fechten Sorgen
Und Gram und Leid nicht an,
Er löst am frühen Morgen
Mit leichtem Sinn den Kahn.

Da lagert rings noch Friede
Auf Wald und Flur und Bach,
Er ruft mit seinem Liede
Die gold'ne Sonne wach.

[Und]¹ singt zu seinem Werke
Aus voller frischer Brust,
Die Arbeit gibt ihm Stärke,
Die Stärke Lebenslust!

Bald wird ein bunt Gewimmel
In allen Tiefen laut,
Und plätschert durch den Himmel
Der sich im Wasser baut -

Und schlüpft auf glatten Steinen
Und badet sich und schnellt,
Der Große frißt den Kleinen
Wie auf der ganzen Welt.

Doch wer ein Netz will stellen
Braucht Augen klar und gut,
Muß heiter gleich den Wellen
Und frey seyn wie die Fluth;

Dort angelt auf der Brücke
Die Hirtinn - schlauer Wicht,
[Gib auf nur deine]² Tücke
Den Fisch betrügst du nicht!

F. Schubert sets stanzas 1-4, 6-7

El pescador no está afligido

Language: Spanish (Español) after the German (Deutsch)

El pescador no está afligido
Por las preocupaciones, el dolor o la pena.
Pronto por la mañana deja
Despreocupadamente su bote.

Deambula mientras la paz reposa
En el bosque, en el prado y en el arroyo,
Con su canción el pescador
Saluda el despertar del dorado sol.

Canta en el trabajo
Desde su vigoroso corazón,
Su trabajo le da fuerza,
Su fuerza le enardece.

Pronto una jovial multitud
Resonará en las profundidades,
Y salpicará a través
De las celestiales aguas.






Pero quien desee colocar una red,
Necesita ojos claros y  buenos,
Debe ser tan alegre como las olas,
Y tan libre como la marea.

Ahí en el puente la pastora
Está pescando. ¡Astuta moza,
Abandona tus trucos!
¡No serás merecedora de ese pez!
