Cuatro canciones para coro femenino con dos trompas y arpa
Song Cycle by Johannes Brahms (1833 - 1897)

Es [tönt]1 ein voller Harfenklang Den Lieb' und Sehnsucht schwellen, Er dringt zum Herzen tief und bang Und läßt das Auge quellen. O rinnet, Tränen, nur herab, O schlage Herz, mit Beben! Es sanken Lieb' und Glück ins Grab, Verloren ist [mein]2 Leben!

Resuena con plenitud un toque de arpa, acrecentado por el amor y la nostalgia. Penetra profundo y ansioso hasta el corazón y hace que los ojos se desborden. ¡Oh lágrimas, fluid! ¡Oh corazón, late trémulo! El amor y la dicha yacen en la tumba. ¡[Mi]1 vida está perdida!

Komm herbey, komm herbey, Tod! Und [versenk' in]1 Cypressen den Leib. Laß mich frey, laß mich frey, Noth! Mich erschlägt ein holdseliges Weib. [Mit Rosmarin mein Leichenhemd, O bestellt es! Ob Lieb' ans Herz mir tödtlich kömmt, Treu' hält es.]2 Keine Blum', keine Blum' süß, Sey gestreut auf den schwärzlichen Sarg. Keine Seel', keine Seel', grüß' Mein Gebein, wo die Erd' es verbarg. Um Ach und Weh zu wenden ab, [Bergt alleine Mich, wo kein Treuer wall' ans Grab,]3 Und weine.

Ven, muerte, ven y entierra mi cuerpo entre cipreses. Libérame, angustia, libérame: me mata una hermosa mujer. ¡Con romero mi mortaja, oh, dispón! Aunque el amor llega, mortal, a mi corazón, este permanece fiel. Ninguna flor, ninguna dulce flor se esparza sobre mi féretro ennegrecido. Ningún alma, ningún alma salude a mis huesos allí donde la tierra los oculta. Para evitar la desdicha y el dolor, depositadme solo allí donde ningún fiel peregrine a mi tumba para llorar.

Wohin ich geh' und schaue, In Feld und Wald und Tal, [Vom Berg hinab in die Aue; Viel schöne, hohe Fraue]1, Grüß ich dich tausendmal. In meinem Garten find' ich Viel [Blumen]2, schön und fein, Viel Kränze wohl draus wind' ich Und tausend Gedanken bind' ich Und Grüße mit darein. [Ihr darf ich keinen reichen, Sie ist zu hoch und schön, Die müssen alle verbleichen, Die Liebe nur ohnegleichen]3 Bleibt ewig im Herzen stehn. Ich schein' wohl froher Dinge Und schaffe auf und ab, Und, ob das Herz zerspringe, Ich grabe fort und singe, Und grab' mir bald mein Grab.

Dondequiera que vaya y mire, por el campo, el bosque y el valle, desde lo alto de la montaña al prado, hermosísima y noble señora, te recuerdo una y mil veces. En mi jardín encuentro muchas flores hermosas y delicadas, con las que confecciono muchas coronas y enlazo mil pensamientos y recuerdos con ellas. A ella ninguna puedo darle: es demasiado noble y hermosa y todas han de marchitarse. El amor incomparable es lo único que permanece por siempre en el corazón. Parezco estar de buen humor y me afano aquí y allá. Y aunque mi corazón se resquebraja, sigo cavando y cantando, y pronto cavaré mi propia tumba.

Wein' an den Felsen der brausenden Winde, Weine, [Mädchen]1 von Inistore! Beug' über die Wogen Dein schönes Haupt, Lieblicher Du als der Geist der Berge, Wenn er um Mittag in einem Sonnenstrahl Ueber das Schweigen von Morven fährt. Er ist gefallen, Dein Jüngling liegt darnieder, Bleich sank er unter Cuthullins Schwert. Nimmer wird Muth deinen Liebling mehr reizen, Das Blut von Königen zu vergießen. Trenar, der liebliche Trenar starb, O Mädchen von Inistore! Seine grauen Hunde heulen daheim, Sie sehen seinen Geist vorüberziehn Sei Bogen hängt ungespannt in der Halle, Nichts regt sich auf der Haide der Rehe.

¡Llora en las rocas de los vientos rugientes, llora, doncella de Inistore! Inclina sobre las olas tu hermosa cabeza, tú, más hermosa que el espíritu de las montañas cuando a mediodía en un rayo de sol se desplaza sobre el silencio de Morven. Ha caído. Tu doncel yace por tierra. Lívido cayó bajo la espada de Cuthullin. Nunca más el valor incitará a tu amado a derramar la sangre de reyes. ¡Trenar, el encantador Trenar ha muerto, oh, doncella de Inistore! Sus sabuesos grises aúllan en casa: ven pasar su fantasma. Su arco cuelga destensado en la sala. Nada se agita en el brezal de la corza.
