Auf dem Strom

Sulla corrente

Language: German (Deutsch)

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Nimm die letzten Abschiedsksse,

Und die wehenden, die Gre,
Die ich noch ans Ufer sende,
Eh' dein Fu sich scheidend wende!
Schon wird von des Stromes Wogen
Rasch der Nachen fortgezogen,
Doch den trnendunklen Blick
Zieht die Sehnsucht stets zurck!

Accogli gli ultimi baci di addio,

E i saluti che ancora io
Mando a te verso la sponda
Prima che i tuoi passi tornino a lasciarmi!
Gi il battello spinto lontano
Dalla rapida corrente,
Ma la nostalgia volge indietro
Lo sguardo oscurato dal pianto!

Und so trgt mich denn die Welle

Fort mit unerflehter Schnelle.
Ach, schon ist die Flur verschwunden,
Wo ich selig Sie gefunden!
Ewig hin, ihr Wonnetage!
Hoffnungsleer verhallt die Klage
Um das schne Heimatland,
Wo ich ihre Liebe fand.

E cos le onde mi portano via

Con inesorabile velocit.
Ah, gi scompaiono i campi,
dove , felice, la incontrai!
Giorni di gioia, perduti per sempre!
Senza speranza si perde il lamento
Verso la bella terra natale,
Dove trovai il mio amore.

Sieh, wie flieht der Strand vorber,

Und wie drngt es mich hinber,
Zieht mit unnennbaren Banden,
An der Htte dort zu landen,
In der Laube dort zu weilen;
Doch des Stromes Wellen eilen
Weiter ohne Rast und Ruh,
Fhren mich dem Weltmeer zu!

Guarda, come scompare la riva,

E come vengo spinto lontano;
Mentre segreti legami mi attirano
verso un rifugio dove approdare,
e riposare all'ombra;
Ma le onde della corrente vanno veloci
Sempre avanti senza sosta o riposo,
e mi trascinano verso il largo!

Ach, vor jener dunklen Wste,

Fern von jeder heitern Kste,
Wo kein Eiland zu erschauen,
O, wie fat mich zitternd Grauen!
Wehmutstrnen sanft zu bringen,
Kann kein Lied vom Ufer dringen;
Nur der Sturm weht kalt daher
Durch das grau gehobne Meer!

Ah, in quella solitudine oscura

Lontano da ogni serena costa,
Senza nessuna isola in vista,
Come mi sento tremare di paura!
Nessun canto ormai pu raggiungermi dalla spiaggia,
Per portarmi dolci pianti di malinconia;
Solo la tempesta soffia fredda
Sul mare grigio e agitato!

Kann des Auges sehnend Schweifen

Keine Ufer mehr ergreifen,
Nun so schau' ich zu den Sternen
Auf in jenen heil'gen Fernen!
Ach, bei ihrem milden Scheine
Nannt' ich sie zuerst die Meine;
Dort vielleicht, o trstend Glck!
Dort begegn' ich ihrem Blick.

E se gli occhi vaganti

Non riescono pi a scorgere la riva,
Allora sollevo lo sguardo alle stelle
Verso quelle sacre lontananze!
Ah, sotto il loro gentile splendore
Per la prima volta la chiamo mia;
L forse, o sorte benigna,
L incontrer il suo sguardo.

Gentle Reminder

This is a personal
project that I began in
1995. I receive no
salary for my full-time
work on it, and aside
from ad revenue and
copyright fees, the
Archive was supported
financially last year by
about 0.03% of our
visitors. So if you found
the information here
useful, please consider
making a donation.
Your gift is greatly
appreciated.
