Trompeten

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG ENG FRE ITA

Unter verschnittenen Weiden, wo braune Kinder spielen
und Blätter treiben, tönen Trompeten. Ein Kirchhofsschauer.
Fahnen von Scharlach stürzen durch des Ahorns Trauer,
Reiter entlang an Roggenfeldern, leeren Mühlen.

Oder Hirten singen nachts und Hirsche treten
in den Kreis ihrer Feuer, des Hains uralte Trauer.
Tanzende heben sich von einer schwarzen Mauer;
Fahnen von Scharlach, Lachen, Wahnsinn, Trompeten.

Trombe

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

Sotto troncati salici, dove bimbi abbronzati giocano,
le foglie fluttuano e suonano le trombe. Brivido di tombe.
Rosse bandiere irrompono attraverso l'acero in lutto,
cavalieri lungo i campi di segala, mulini deserti.

Oppure pastori cantano a notte, e cervi entrano
nel cerchio dei loro falò, antichissima tristezza del bosco.
Danzatori si stagliano contro un muro nero;
vessilli scarlatti, risa, delirio, trombe.
