Zu Abend mein Herz

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE ITA

Am Abend hört man den Schrei der Fledermäuse.
Zwei Rappen springen auf der Wiese.
Der rote Ahorn rauscht.
Dem Wanderer erscheint die kleine Schenke am Weg.
Herrlich schmecken junger Wein und Nüsse.
Herrlich: betrunken zu taumeln in dämmernden Wald.
Durch schwarzes Geäst tönen schmerzliche Glocken.
Auf das Gesicht tropft Tau.

A sera, mio cuore

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

Già s'ode, a sera, stridio di pipistrelli.
Saltano sopra il prato due morelli.
Stormisce l'acero rossastro.
Scorge il viandante la modesta osteria.
Delizia di vino giovane con noci.
Delizia: barcollare ubriaco mentre si abbuia il bosco.
Tra rami oscuri suono mesto di campane.
Mi goccia la rugiada lungo il volto.
