Translations
O cessate di piagarmi
O cessate di piagarmi,
O lasciatemi morir!
Luci ingrate, dispietate,
Più del gelo e più de' marmi
fredde e sorde a' miei martir.
O cease to wound me
O cease to wound me,
Or let me die!
Ungrateful, compassionless
Eyes too cold, too wounding
More than ice or marble walls.
Deh vieni alla finestra
Deh, vieni alla finestra,
o mio tesoro,
deh, vieni a consolar
il pianto mio.
Se neghi a me di dar
qualche ristoro,
davanti agli occhi tuoi
morir vogl’io.
O Come to the Window
O come to the window,
beloved;
O come and dispel all my
sorrow!
If you refuse me some
solace
Before your dear eyes
I will die.
Tu ch’hai la bocca dolce
più che il miele,
tu che il zucchero porti
in mezzo al core,
non esser, gioia mia,
con me crudele,
lasciati almen veder,
mio bell’amore!
Your lips are sweeter than
honey,
Your heart
is sweetness itself:
then be not cruel,
my angel,
I beg for one glance, my
beloved!
Bella siccome un angelo
Bella siccome un angelo
in terra pellegrino.
Fresca siccome il giglio
che s'apre in sul mattino.
Occhio che parla e ride,
sguardo che i cor conquide.
Chioma che vince l'ebano
Sorriso incantator.
Beautiful as an angel
Beautiful as an angel
On earth as a pilgrim.
Fresh as a lily
That opens upon morning.
Eyes that speak and laugh,
Glances that conquer the
heart, hair that surpasses
ebony, enchanting smile!
Alma innocente e candida,
che sé medesma ignora;
modestia impareggiabile,
dolcezza che innamora
ai miseri pietosa,
gentil, buona, amorosa.
Il ciel l'ha fatta nascere
per far beato un cor.
A soul innocent and
ingenuous that ignores itself.
Modesty incomparable
Sweetness that that falls
Piteous
Gentle, good, loving!
Heaven made her be born
To make a heart beat!
Im wunderschönen Monat
Mai
Im wunderschönen Monat
Mai,
Als alle Knospen sprangen,
Da ist in meinem Herzen
Die Liebe aufgegangen.
In the Wonderfully
Beautiful Month of May
In the wonderfully beautiful
month of May
When all the buds are bursting
There, from my own heart,
Bursts forth my own love.
Im wunderschönen Monat
Mai,
Als alle Vögel sangen,
Da hab' ich ihr gestanden
Mein Sehnen und Verlangen.
In the wonderfully beautiful
month of May
When all the birds are singing,
So have I confessed to her
My yearning and my longing.
Ich will meine Seele tauchen
Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein;
Die Lilie soll klingend
hauchen
Ein Lied von der Liebsten
mein.
I Want to Delve My Soul
I want to delve my soul
Into the cup of the lily;
The lily should give
resoundingly
A song belonging to my
beloved.
Das Lied soll schauern und
beben
Wie der Kuß von ihrem
Mund,
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süßer Stund'.
The song should shudder and
tremble
Like the kiss
from her lips
That she once gave me
In a wonderfully sweet hour.
Ich grolle nicht
Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das
Herz auch bricht,
Ewig verlor'nes Lieb ! Ich
grolle nicht.
Wie du auch strahlst in
Diamantenpracht,
Es fällt kein Strahl in deines
Herzens Nacht.
Das weiß ich längst.
I Don’t Complain
I don't complain
though I may die of pain.
Love now forever lost
I don't complain
And when you shine
With diamonds clear and
bright. I see your heart
Remains in darkest night.
I know it well.
Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das
Herz auch bricht,
Ich sah dich ja im [Traum],
Und sah die Nacht in deines
Herzens [Raum],
Und sah die Schlang', die dir
am Herzen frißt,
Ich sah, mein Lieb, wie sehr
du elend bist. Ich grolle nicht.
I don't complain
Though I may die of pain.
And ever, when I'm dreaming,
I see the night that through
your soul is streaming,
I see the serpent that devours
your heart,
I see, my darling, how forlorn
you are. I don't complain.
Der Nussbaum
Es grünet ein Nussbaum vor
dem Haus,
Duftig, luftig breitet er blättrig
die Blätter aus.
The Walnut Tree
Green before the house a
walnut stands.
spreading, fragrant, airy, its
leafy branches.
Viel liebliche Blüten stehen
dran;
Linde Winde kommen, sie
herzlich zu umfahn.
Es flüstern je zwei zu zwei
gepaart,
Neigend, beugend zierlich
zum Kusse die Häuptchen zart.
Many lovely blossoms it
bears;
gentle winds visit them with
loving embrace.
Paired together,
They whisper,
Gracefully inclining delicate
heads to kiss.
Sie flüstern von einem Mägdlein,
Das dächte die Nächte und
Tage lang, Wußte, ach! selber
nicht was.
Whisper of a
Maiden
Who night and day pondered,
ah, and knew not what.
Sie flüstern - wer mag
verstehn so gar leise Weis'? Flüstern von Bräut'gam und
nächstem Jahr.
Whisper - who can understand
so soft a song? of a husband-to-be, of next
year.
Das Mägdlein horchet, es
rauscht im Baum;
Sehnend, wähnend sinkt es
lächelnd in Schlaf und Traum.
Then maiden listens, the tree
rustles; yearning, hoping, she
sinks, smiling, into sleep and
dreams.
Ave Maria
Áve María, grátia pléna,
Dóminus técum.
Benedícta tu in muliéribus,
et benedíctus frúctus véntris
túi, Iésus.
Sáncta María, Máter Déi,
óra pro nóbis peccatóribus,
nunc et in hóra mórtis nóstrae.
Ámen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you among
women, and blessed is the
fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our
death. Amen
Mandoline
Les donneurs de sérénades
Et les belles écouteuses
Échangent des propos fades
Sous les ramures chanteuses.
Mandoline
The singers of serenades
Whisper their faded vows
Unto fair listening maids
Under the singing boughs.
C'est Tircis et c'est Aminte,
Et c'est l'éternel Clitandre,
Et c'est Damis qui pour
mainte
Cruelle [fait] maint vers
tendre.
Tircis, Aminte, are there,
Clitandre is over-long,
And Damis
For many a fair
Tyrant makes many
a song.
Leurs courtes vestes de soie,
Leurs longues robes à queues,
Leur élégance, leur joie
Et leurs molles ombres bleues,
Their vests, silken and bright,
Their long pale silken trains,
Their elegance of delight,
Twine soft blue silken chains.
Tourbillonnent dans l'extase
D'une lune rose et grise,
Et la mandoline jase
Parmi les frissons de brise.
And the mandolines and they,
Faintlier breathing, swoon
Into the rose and grey
Ecstasy of the moon.
Les Matelots
Sur l'eau bleue et profonde
Nous allons voyageant,
Environnant le monde
D'un sillage d'argent,
Des îles de la Sonde,
De l'Inde au ciel brûlé,
Jusqu'au pôle gelé!
The Sailors
Upon the blue, deep water
We shall travel,
Encircling the world
With a silver wake.
From the Sunda Islands,
From India of the burning sky,
As far as the frozen pole!
Nous pensons à la terre
Que nous fuyons toujours,
À notre vieille mère,
À nos jeunes amours ;
Mais la vague légère
Avec son doux refrain
Endort notre chagrin.
We think of the land
Which we always flee,
Of our aging mother,
Of our young loves.
But the easy wave
With its sweet refrain,
Lulls our grief to sleep!
Existence sublime!
Bercés par notre nid,
Nous vivons sur l'abîme
Au sein de l'infini;
Des flots rasant la cime,
Dans le grand désert bleu
Nous marchons avec Dieu!
Sublime existence!
Rocking in our nest.
We live upon the abyss,
On the breast of the infinite,
Grazing the crests of the
waves. In the great blue desert
We go with God!
