Verdi: Sul fil d’un soffio etesio
NANNETTA (travestita da Regina delle Fate)
Sul fil d’un soffio etesio
Scorrete agili larve, Fra i rami un baglior cesio
D’alba lunare apparve.
Danzate! e il passo blando Misuri un blando suon, Le magiche accoppiando Carole alla canzon.
[LE FATE
La selva dorme e sperde Incenso ed ombra; e par Nell’aer denso un verde Asilo in fondo al mar.]
LA REGINA DELLE FATE
Erriam sotto la luna
Scegliendo fior da fiore, Ogni corolla in core
Porta la sua fortuna.
Coi gigli e le viole
Scriviam de’ nomi arcani, Dalle fatate mani
Germoglino parole, Parole alluminate
Di puro argento e d’or, Carmi e malie. Le Fate
Hanno per cifre i fior. Arrigo Boito
Strauss: Ich wollt ein Sträusslein binden
Ich wollt ein Sträußlein binden, Da kam die dunkle Nacht, Kein Blümlein war zu finden, Sonst hätt’ ich dir's gebracht.
Da flossen von den Wangen
Mir Tränen in den Klee, Ein Blümlein aufgegangen
Ich nun im Garten seh.
NANNETTA (disguised as Queen of the Fairies)
On the edge of an Etesisn breath scurry agile larvae, among the branches a cesium glow from the lunar dawn has appeared. Dance! And the gentle step measures a gentle sound, the magic pairing dances with the song.
[THE FAIRIES
The forest sleeps and scatters incense and shadow; and it seems that the air is dense as a green refuge at the bottom of the sea.]
QUEEN OF THE FAIRIES
Let us wander beneath the moon, choosing flower by flower; each crown in its heart, brings its good fortune. With lilies and violets, let us write secret names; from fairy hands may words blossom, words illuminated by pure silver and gold, incantations and spells. The Fairies they have, for letters, flowers.
I meant to make you a posy, but dark night arrived, there was no little flower to be found, or I’d have brought it to you
Then down my cheeks flowed my tears into the clover, I saw a flower that had come up now in the garden.
Das wollte ich dir brechen Wohl in dem dunklen Klee, Da fing es an zu sprechen: “Ach, tue mir nicht weh!”
“Sei freundlich im Herzen, Betracht dein eigen Leid, Und lasse mich in Schmerzen Nicht sterben vor der Zeit!”
Und hätt’s nicht so gesprochen, Im Garten ganz allein, So hätt’ ich dir’s gebrochen, Nun aber darf’s nicht sein.
Mein Schatz ist ausgeblieben, Ich bin so ganz allein. Im Lieben wohnt Betrüben, Und kann nicht anders sein.
Clemens Brentano
Debussy: Green
Voici des fruits, des fleurs, des feuilles et des branches
Et puis voici mon cœur qui ne bat que pour vous.
Ne le déchirez pas avec vos deux mains blanches
Et qu’à vos yeux si beaux l’humble présent soit doux.
J’arrive tout couvert encore de rosée
Que le vent du matin vient glacer à mon front.
Souffrez que ma fatigue à vos pieds reposée
Rêve des chers instants qui la délasseront.
Sur votre jeune sein laissez rouler ma tête
Toute sonore encore de vos derniers baisers;
Laissez-la s’apaiser de la bonne tempête,
Et que je dorme un peu puisque vous reposez.
—Paul VerlaineI wanted to pick it for you there in the dark clover, when it started to speak: “Ah, do not hurt me!”
“Be kind-hearted, consider you own suffering, and do not let me die in torment before my time!”
And had it not spoken thus, in the garden all alone, I’d have picked it for you, but now that cannot be.
My sweetheart has stayed away, I am so utterly alone. in love dwells sadness, and cannot be otherwise.
Green
Here are fruits, flowers, leaves, and branches, and then here is my heart that beats just for you. Do not tear it with your two white hands and may the humble gift be sweet in your beautiful eyes. I arrive still covered with dew that the morning wind freezes to my brow.
Let my fatigue, finding rest at your feet, dream of dear moments that will soothe it.
On your young breast let me cradle my head Still rresonant with your last kisses; let it calm down frompeace love’s sweet tempest, and let me sleep a little since you are resting.
Mozart: Deh, vieni non tardar
Recitativo accompagnato SUSANNA
Giunse alfin il momento che godrò senz’affanno in braccio all'idol mio. Timide cure, uscite dal mio petto, a turbar non venite il mio diletto! Oh, come par che all’amoroso foco l’amenità del loco, la terra e il ciel risponda, come la notte i furti miei seconda!
Aria SUSANNA
Deh, vieni, non tardar, oh gioia bella, vieni ove amore per goder t’'appella, finché non splende in ciel notturna face, finché l’aria è ancor bruna e il mondo tace.
Qui mormora il ruscel, qui scherza l’aura, che col dolce sussurro il cor ristaura, qui ridono i fioretti e l’erba è fresca, ai piaceri d’amor qui tutto adesca. Vieni, ben mio, tra queste piante ascose, ti vo’ la fronte incoronar di rose.
Lorenzo Da Ponte
Mozart: Ach, ich fühl’s
PAMINA
Ach, ich fühl’s, es ist verschwunden, Ewig hin der Liebe Glück!
Nimmer kommt ihr Wonnestunde
Meinem Herzen mehr zurück!
Sieh’, Tamino, diese Tränen, Fließen, Trauter, dir allein!
Fühlst du nicht der Liebe Sehnen, So wird Ruh’ im Tode sein!
Emmanuel Schikaneder
Oh, come, do not delay
Accompanied recitative SUSANNA
At last the moment has come when I can rejoice without worry in my lover’s arms: Timid cares coming forth from my breast, do not come to disturb my delight. Oh, how it seems to the amorous fire, the congeniality of this place, that earth and heaven respond, as the night furthers my designs!
Aria SUSANNA
Oh, come, do not delay, oh beautiful joy, come where love calls thee to enjoy, until night’s torches do not shine in the sky, while the air is still dark and the world quiet.
Here murmurs the stream, here plays the breeze, which with sweet whispers restores the heart, here little flowers laugh and the grass is fresh; here everything entices love’s pleasures. Come, my dear, hidden among these bushes
I want to wreathe your brow with roses.
PAMINA
Ah, I feel it, it has disappeared, love’s happiness is fled forever! Nevermore will come the hour of bliss, return to my heart!
See, Tamino, these tears flowing, beloved, for you alone!
If you do not feel love’s yearning, so there will be peace in death!
Delibes: Flower Song
