Ich würd' auf meinem Pfad

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: DUT FRE ITA

Ich würd' auf meinem Pfad' mit Tränen
Oft hin zum fernen Ende seh'n,
Säh' ich nicht Kenner meiner Leiden
So mitleidsvoll am Wege steh'n.

Den Sonnenbrand, der mich entkräftet,
Den Blitz, der meinem Scheitel droht,
Den sieht mein Freund und tritt mir näher
Und ruft: »Ich kenne deine Not.«

Zwar schmerzt es mich, daß er den Jammer
Mit ansieht und, zur Hälfte schwach,
Nichts weiter kann, als mit mir trauern.
Doch ruft mein Herz: »Er weint dir nach.«

Dann brech' ich mutig durch die Dornen:
»Er sieht mich bluten,« sprech' ich dann.
Und wenn ich einst, verblutet, falle,
Dann sag' er: »Der stieg felsenan.«

Io guarderei, sul mio sentiero, in lacrime

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

Io guarderei, sul mio sentiero, in lacrime
spesso alla sua fine estrema,
se non scorgessi chi le mie pene conosce,
sostare, pietoso, sul mio cammino.

Il sole ardente, che mi fiacca,
il fulmine, che minaccia il mio capo,
li vede il mio amico e mi viene vicino
esclamando: "Comprendo la tua pena".

Mi duole invero, che nella mia miseria
mi veda e, mezzo indebolito,
Nient'altro possa, che affiggersi con me.
Ma il mio cuore grida: "Sta piangendo per te".

Poi con coraggio mi apro un varco fra i rovi:
"mi vede sanguinare", io dico allora.
E se un giorno dovessi cadere, esangue,
egli direbbe: "Ha raggiunto la vetta".
