6 Lieder, Op. 57: III. Suleika
Texts by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Translated by Lisette Oropesa
GERMAN:
Suleika
Was bedeutet die Bewegung?
Bringt der Ost mir frohe Kunde?
Seiner Schwingen frische Regung
Kühlt des Herzens tiefe Wunde.
Kosend spielt er mit dem Staube,
Jagt ihn auf in leichten Wölkchen,
Treibt zur sichern Rebenlaube
Der Insekten frohes Völkchen.
Lindert sanft der Sonne Glühen,
Kühlt auch mir die heißen Wangen,
Küßt die Reben noch im Fliehen,
Die auf Feld und Hügel prangen.
Und mir bringt sein leises Flüstern
Von dem Freunde tausend Grüße;
Eh' noch diese Hügel düstern,
Grüßen mich wohl tausend Küsse.
Und so kannst du weiter ziehen!
Diene Freunden und Betrübten.
Dort wo hohe Mauern glühen,
Dort find' ich bald den Vielgeliebten.
Ach, die wahre Herzenskunde,
Liebeshauch, erfrischtes Leben
Wird mir nur aus seinem Munde,
Kann mir nur sein Athem geben.
ENGLISH:
Suleika
What means this movement?
Does the east bring me good news?
Its flourishing, fresh stirring
cools the heart’s deep wounds.
Carressingly it plays with the dust,
It drives it up in light little clouds,
It drives to the secure grapevines
The insects, joyful little ones.
It eases the rays of the sun,
It cools also my hot cheeks,
It kisses the vines still in flight,
Those that are resplendent on the fields and the hills.
And it brings me its light whisper
From my friend a thousand greetings;
Before these hills become dark,
I’ll be greeted with a thousand kisses.
And so you can move along then!
Serve friends and those who are suffering
There where the high walls glow,
There I will soon find my most beloved.
Ah, the true heart’s message,
The touch of love, freshest life,
For me, comes ony from his own mouth,
Only his breath can give it to me.
