Liszt: The Complete Songs, Vol. 2 - Angelika ... - Abeille Musique

Es schweben Blumen und Englein Flowers and cherubs hover
Um unsre liebe Frau; Around our beloved Lady;
Die Augen, die Lippen, die Wängelein, Her eyes, her lips, her cheeks
Die gleichen der Liebsten genau. Are the image of my love’s.
HEINRICH HEINE (1797–1856)
br Es muss ein Wunderbares sein How wondrous it must be
Es muss ein Wunderbares sein How wondrous it must be
Ums Lieben zweier Seelen, When two souls love each other,
Sich schliessen ganz einander ein, Locking each other wholly in,
Sich nie ein Wort verhehlen, Never concealing a single word,
Und Freud und Leid und Glück und Not And sharing with each other
So mit einander tragen; Joy and sorrow, weal and woe;
Vom ersten Kuss bis in den Tod Talking only of love
Sich nur von Liebe sagen. From the first kiss unto death.
OSCAR VON REDWITZ-SCHMÖLZ (1823–1891)
bs La perla The pearl
Sono del mare bianca la figlia, I am the daughter of the white sea,
son di conchiglia I am the love-token
pegno d’amor. Of the shellfish.
Nella nativa carcere oscura In my dark native prison
vivo sicura I live in safety,
senza dolor. Without pain.
Madre amorosa mi chiude in seno, A loving mother holds me to her breast,
fronte sì pieno With a face so full
di voluttà. Of delight.
Aura non beo, luce non veggo, I feel no breeze, I see no light,
eppur non chieggo Yet I ask
più libertà. No greater freedom.
Ahi! se per forza dal fondo mio Ah! If I am taken by force
tolta son io, From my bed,
tratta lassù, And dragged up above,
a lume giungo, l’aer respiro, I reach the light, I breathe the air,
ma già sospiro But sigh
per schiavitù! That I am enslaved!
