Dedication Translation by Richard Stokes

Ja, du weißt es, teure Seele, Daß ich fern von dir mich quäle, Liebe macht die Herzen krank, Habe Dank.

Yes, dear soul, you know That I am in torment far from you, Love makes hearts sick – Be thanked.

Einst hielt ich, der Freiheit Zecher, Hoch den Amethysten-Becher, Und du segnetest den Trank, Habe Dank.

Once, reveling in freedom, I held the amethyst cup aloft And you blessed that draught – Be thanked.

Und beschworst darin die Bösen, Bis ich, was ich nie gewesen, Heilig, heilig an’s Herz dir sank, Habe Dank!

And you banished the evil spirits, Till I, as never before, Holy, sank holy upon your heart – Be thanked.

Allerseelen Text by Hermann von Gilm

All Souls’ Day Translation by Richard Stokes

Stell auf den Tisch die duftenden Reseden, Die letzten roten Astern trag herbei, Und laß uns wieder von der Liebe reden, Wie einst im Mai.

Set on the table the fragrant mignonettes, Bring in the last red asters, And let us talk of love again As once in May.

Gib mir die Hand, daß ich sie heimlich drücke, Und wenn man’s sieht, mir ist es einerlei, Gib mir nur einen deiner süßen Blicke, Wie einst im Mai.

Give me your hand to press in secret, And if people see, I do not care, Give me but one of your sweet glances As once in May.

Es blüht und duftet heut auf jedem Grabe, Ein Tag im Jahr ist ja den Toten frei, Komm am mein Herz, daß ich dich wieder habe, Wie einst im Mai.

Each grave today has flowers and is fragrant, One day each year is devoted to the dead; Come to my heart and so be mine again, As once in May.

Morgen!

Text by John Henry Mackay

Tomorrow!

Translation by Richard Stokes

Und morgen wird die Sonne wieder scheinen Und auf dem Wege, den ich gehen werde, Wird uns, die Glücklichen, sie wieder einen Inmitten dieser sonnenatmenden Erde…

And tomorrow the sun will shine again And on the path that I shall take, It will unite us, happy ones, again, Amid this same sun-breathing earth…

Und zu dem Strand, dem weiten, wogenblauen, Werden wir still und langsam niedersteigen, Stumm werden wir uns in die Augen schauen, Und auf uns sinkt des Glückes stummes Schweigen…

And to the shore, broad, blue-waved, We shall quietly and slowly descend, Speechless we shall gaze into each other’s eyes, And the speechless silence of bliss shall fall on us…

Texts, cont.

“Verranno a te sull’aure” from Lucia di Lammermoor Text by Salvadore Cammarano

Translation by Gwyn Morris

lucia Ah, talor del tuo pensiero venga un foglio messaggero, e la vita fuggitiva di speranze nutrirò.

lucia Ah, if sometimes you think of me and send me a letter, fresh hopes will fortify my fleeting life.

edgardo Io di te memoria viva sempre, o cara, serberò.

edgardo I shall always cherish vivid memories of you, dearest.

lucia Ah! Verranno a te sull’aure i miei sospiri ardenti, udrai nel mar che mormora l’eco dei miei lamenti.

Pensando ch’io di gemiti mi pasco e di dolor, spargi un’amara lagrima su questo pegno allor, ah, su questo pegno, ecc.

lucia Ah!...

On the breeze will come to you my ardent sighs, you will hear in the murmuring sea the echo of my laments.

When you think of me living on tears and grief, then shed a bitter tear on this ring, ah, on this ring, etc.

edgardo Verranno a te sull’aure, ecc.

edgardo On the breeze will come to you, etc.

edgardo e lucia Ah! Verranno a te sull’aure, ecc.

lucia and edgardo Ah! On the breeze will come to you, etc.

edgardo Rammentati, ne stringe il ciel!

edgardo Remember, Heaven has joined us!

edgardo e lucia Addio!

edgardo and lucia Farewell!
