Ins Haus des Totengräbers

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE ITA

Tenor-solo:
 Ins Haus des Totengräbers
 Fallt durch die Fensterlein,
 Umrankt vom Efeugitter
 Der holde Morgenschein.
 Es weckt mit leisem Grusse
 Der Greis die Pilgerin.

Rose:
 Hab' Dank für deine Güte,
 Nun will ich weiter zieh'n,
 Und woll' die Hande legen
 Aufs Haupt, mein Vater, mir,
 Beglückt mit deinem Segen,
 Nur so geh' ich von dir.

Totengräber:
 O glücklich, dreimal glücklich ist,
 Wer dich als seine Tochter küsst,
 Hör' meine Bitte: folge mir,
 Ich gebe treue Eltern dir.

Tenor-solo:
 Die Rose sinkt an seine Brust,
 Sie grüsst des Lebens erste Lust.

Dans la maison du fossoyeur

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Ténor solo :
 Dans la maison du fossoyeur,
 À travers la fenêtre,
 Recouverte d'un écran de lierre,
 La charmante lumière du matin.
 Avec un doux salut le vieillard
 Réveille la jeune pèlerine.

La rose :
 Je te remercie pour ta bonté,
 Maintenant je dois aller plus loin,
 Et si tu posais tes mains
 Sur ma tête, mon père,
 Heureuse de ta bénédiction,
 Je te quitterais.

Le fossoyeur :
 Ô heureux, trois fois heureux est
 Celui qui t'embrasse comme sa fille.
 Écoute ma demande : suis-moi,
 Je vais te montrer tes vrais parents.

Ténor solo :
 La rose tombe sur sa poitrine,
 Elle reçoit le premier plaisir de sa vie.
