Wenn ich durch Wald und Fluren geh

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Wenn ich durch Wald und Fluren geh,
Es wird mir dann so wohl und weh
In unruhvoller Brust.
So wohl, so weh, wenn ich die Au,
In ihrer Schönheit Fülle schau',
Und all' die Frühlingslust.

Denn, was im Winde tönend weht,
Was aufgethürmt gen Himmel steht,
Und auch der Mensch, so hold vertraut,
Mit all' der Schönheit, die er schaut,
Entschwindet, und vergeht.

Malinconia

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

Quando me ne vado per i boschi ed i campi,
mi sento così colmo di gioia  e nello stesso tempo così triste
nel mio animo senza pace.
Così felice, così triste, quando contemplo
I prati nel pieno della loro bellezza,
e tutta la gioia della primavera.
 
Perché tutto ciò che soffia risuonando nel vento,
tutto quello che si eleva verso il cielo,
e anche l'uomo, così intensamente preso
da tutta la bellezza che contempla,
svanisce e passa.
