Winter journey
Translations © by Arthur Rishi
Song Cycle by Franz Peter Schubert (1797 - 1828)
View original-language texts alone: Winterreise
Fremd bin ich eingezogen, Fremd zieh' ich wieder aus. Der Mai war mir gewogen Mit manchem Blumenstrauß. Das Mädchen sprach von Liebe, Die Mutter gar von Eh' - Nun ist die Welt so trübe, Der Weg gehüllt in Schnee. Ich kann zu meiner Reisen Nicht wählen mit der Zeit: Muß selbst den Weg mir weisen In dieser Dunkelheit. Es zieht ein Mondenschatten Als mein Gefährte mit, Und auf den weißen Matten Such' ich des Wildes Tritt. Was soll ich länger weilen, [Bis]1 man mich trieb' hinaus? Laß irre Hunde heulen Vor ihres Herren Haus! Die Liebe liebt das Wandern, - Gott hat sie so gemacht - Von Einem zu dem Andern - Fein Liebchen, gute Nacht! Will dich im Traum nicht stören, Wär' Schad' um deine Ruh', Sollst meinen Tritt nicht hören - Sacht, sacht die Thüre zu! [Ich schreibe nur im Gehen]2 An's Thor [noch]3 gute Nacht, Damit du mögest sehen, [Ich hab' an dich]4 gedacht.

As a stranger I arrived, As a stranger again I leave. May was kind to me With many bunches of flowers. The girl spoke of love, Her mother even of marriage, - Now the world is bleak, The path covered by snow. I cannot choose the time Of my departure; I must find my own way In this darkness. With a shadow cast by the moonlight As my traveling companion I'll search for animal tracks On the white fields. Why should I linger, waiting Until I am driven out? Let stray dogs howl Outside their master's house; Love loves to wander God has made her so From one to the other. Dear love, good night! I will not disturb you in your dreaming, It would be a pity to disturb your rest; You shall not hear my footsteps Softly, softly shut the door! On my way out I'll write "Good Night" on the gate, So that you may see That I have thought of you.

Der Wind spielt mit der Wetterfahne Auf meines schönen Liebchens Haus. Da dacht' ich schon in meinem Wahne, Sie pfiff' den armen Flüchtling aus. Er hätt' es [ehr]1 bemerken sollen, Des Hauses aufgestecktes Schild, So hätt' er nimmer suchen wollen Im Haus' ein treues Frauenbild. Der Wind spielt drinnen mit den Herzen, Wie auf dem Dach, nur nicht so laut. Was fragen sie nach meinen Schmerzen? Ihr Kind ist eine reiche Braut.

The wind plays with the weathervane Atop my beautiful beloved's house. In my delusion I thought It was whistling at the poor fugitive. If he had seen it before, The crest above the house, Then he never would have looked for A woman's fidelity in that house. The wind plays with hearts within As on the roof, but not so loudly. What is my suffering to them? Their child is a rich bride.

Frozen tear drops fall from my cheeks: Can it be that, without knowing it, I have been weeping? O tears, my tears, are you so lukewarm, That you turn to ice like cold morning dew? Yet you spring from a source, my breast, so burning hot, As if you wanted to melt all of the ice of winter!

Ich such' im Schnee vergebens Nach ihrer Tritte Spur, [Hier, wo wir oft gewandelt Selbander durch die]1 Flur. Ich will den Boden küssen, Durchdringen Eis und Schnee Mit meinen heißen Thränen, Bis ich die Erde seh'. Wo find' ich eine Blüthe, Wo find' ich grünes Gras? Die Blumen sind erstorben, Der Rasen sieht so blaß. Soll denn kein Angedenken Ich nehmen mit von hier? Wenn meine Schmerzen schweigen, Wer sagt mir dann von ihr?

I search in the snow in vain For a trace of her footsteps When she, on my arm, Wandered about the green field. I want to kiss the ground, Piercing the ice and snow With my hot tears, Until I see the earth below. Where will I find a blossom? Where will I find green grass? The flowers are dead, The turf is so pale. Is there then no souvenir To carry with me from here? When my pain is stilled, What will speak to me of her? My heart is as if [frozen]1, Her image is cold within, If my heart should one day thaw, So too would her image melt away!

Am Brunnen vor dem Thore Da steht ein Lindenbaum: Ich träumt' in seinem Schatten So manchen süßen Traum. Ich schnitt in seine Rinde So manches liebe Wort; Es zog in Freud' und Leide Zu ihm mich immer fort. Ich mußt' auch heute wandern Vorbei in tiefer Nacht, Da hab' ich noch im [Dunkel]1 Die Augen zugemacht. Und seine Zweige rauschten, Als riefen sie mir zu: Komm her zu mir, Geselle, Hier findst du deine Ruh'! Die kalten Winde bliesen Mir grad' in's Angesicht, Der Hut flog mir vom Kopfe, Ich wendete mich nicht. Nun bin ich manche Stunde Entfernt von jenem Ort, Und immer hör' ich's rauschen: Du fändest Ruhe dort!

By the fountain, near the gate, There stands a linden tree; I have dreamt in its shadows So many sweet dreams. I carved on its bark So many loving words; I was always drawn to it, Whether in joy or in sorrow. Today, too, I had to pass it In the dead of night. And even in the darkness I had to close my eyes. And its branches rustled As if calling to me: "Come here, to me, friend, Here you will find your peace!" The frigid wind blew Straight in my face, My hat flew from my head, I did not turn back. Now I am many hours Away from that spot, And still I hear the rustling: There you would have found peace!

Manche Thrän' aus meinen Augen Ist gefallen in den Schnee; Seine kalten Flocken saugen Durstig ein das heiße Weh. [Wann]1 die Gräser sprossen wollen, Weht daher ein lauer Wind, Und das Eis zerspringt in Schollen, Und der weiche Schnee zerrinnt. Schnee, du weißt von meinem Sehnen: [Sag mir, wohin]2 geht dein Lauf? Folge nach nur meinen Thränen, Nimmt dich bald das Bächlein auf. Wirst mit ihm die Stadt durchziehen, Muntre Straßen ein und aus: Fühlst du meine Thränen glühen, Da ist meiner Liebsten Haus.

Many tears from my eyes Have fallen into the snow; Whose icy flakes thirstily drink My burning grief. When the grass begins to sprout, A mild wind will blow there, And the ice will break up And the snow will melt. Snow, you know my longing, Tell me, to where will you run? Just follow my tears And then before long the brook will take you in. It will take you through the town, In and out of the lively streets. When you feel my tears glow, That will be my beloved's house.

Der du so lustig rauschtest, Du heller, wilder Fluß, Wie still bist du geworden, Giebst keinen Scheidegruß. Mit harter, starrer Rinde Hast du dich überdeckt, Liegst kalt und unbeweglich Im Sande [hingestreckt]1. In deine Decke grab' ich Mit einem spitzen Stein Den Namen meiner Liebsten Und Stund' und Tag hinein: Den Tag des ersten Grußes, Den Tag, an dem ich ging, Um Nam' und Zahlen windet Sich ein zerbrochner Ring. Mein Herz, in diesem Bache Erkennst du nun dein Bild? Ob's unter seiner Rinde Wohl auch so reißend schwillt?

You who rushed along so merrily, You clear, wild stream, How quiet you have become, You offer no parting words. With a hard, solid crust You have clothed yourself. You lie cold and motionless Stretched out in the sand. On your surface I carve With a sharp stone The name of my beloved And the hour and the day: The day of our first meeting, The day I went away: Name and numbers entwined By a broken ring. My heart, in this brook Do you recognize your own image? Is there, under your surface, too, A surging torrent?

Es brennt mir unter beiden Sohlen, Tret' ich auch schon auf Eis und Schnee. Ich möcht' nicht wieder Athem holen, Bis ich nicht mehr die Thürme seh'. Hab' mich an [jedem]1 Stein gestoßen, So eilt' ich zu der Stadt hinaus; Die Krähen warfen Bäll' und Schloßen Auf meinen Hut von jedem Haus. Wie anders hast du mich empfangen, Du Stadt der Unbeständigkeit! An deinen blanken Fenstern sangen Die Lerch' und Nachtigall im Streit. Die runden Lindenbäume blühten, Die klaren Rinnen rauschten hell, Und ach, zwei Mädchenaugen glühten! - Da war's geschehn um dich, Gesell! Kömmt mir der Tag in die Gedanken, Möcht' ich noch einmal rückwärts sehn, Möcht' ich zurücke wieder wanken, Vor ihrem Hause stille stehn.

A fire burns under the soles of my feet, Though I walk on ice and snow; Yet I'll not pause for a breath Until the towers are out of sight. I have stumbled on every stone, So hastily did I leave the town; The crows threw snowballs and hailstones at my hat from every house. How differently did you welcome me, You town of infidelity! At your bright windows sang The lark and the nightingale in competition. The round linden trees were blooming, The clear streams rushed by, And, ah, two maiden eyes were glowing, - Then you were done for, my friend. When that day comes into my thoughts I wish to glance back once more, I wish I could stumble back And stand in silence before her house.

Into the deepest chasms A will-o'-the-wisp enticed me; How I will discover a path Does not concern me much. I am used to going astray; Every path leads to one goal; Our joys, our woes, Are all a will-o'-the-wisp game! Down the mountain stream's dry course I will calmly wend my way. Every stream finds the sea, Every sorrow finds its grave.

Nun merk' ich erst, wie müd' ich bin, Da ich zur Ruh' mich lege; Das Wandern hielt mich munter hin Auf unwirthbarem Wege. Die Füße frugen nicht nach Rast, Es war zu kalt zum Stehen, Der Rücken fühlte keine Last, Der Sturm half fort mich wehen. In eines Köhlers engem Haus Hab' Obdach ich gefunden; Doch meine Glieder ruhn nicht aus: So brennen ihre Wunden. Auch du, mein Herz, [im]1 Kampf und Sturm So wild und so verwegen, Fühlst in der Still' erst deinen Wurm Mit heißem Stich sich regen!

Now I first notice how weary I am As I lie down to rest; Wandering had sustained me As I walked a desolate road. My feet do not ask for rest, It was too cold to stand still; My back felt no burden, The storm helped me blow along. In a coal-burner's narrow hut I have found shelter. Still, my limbs cannot rest, So fiercely my wounds burn. You too, my heart, in struggles and storm So wild and so bold, Only now in the quiet do you feel the sharp sting of the worm that lives within you!

Ich träumte von bunten Blumen, So wie sie wohl blühen im Mai, Ich träumte von grünen Wiesen, Von lustigem Vogelgeschrei.

Ihr lacht wohl über den Träumer, Der Blumen im Winter sah? Ich träumte von Lieb' um Liebe, Von einer schönen Maid, Von Herzen und von Küssen, Von [Wonn']2 und Seligkeit.

I dreamt of colorful flowers Such as bloom in May; I dreamt of green meadows, Of merry bird songs. And when the roosters crowed, My eyes awoke; It was cold and dark, The ravens were shrieking on the roof. But there on the window panes, Who painted those leaves? Do you laugh at the dreamer, Who saw flowers in winter? I dreamt of requited love, Of a beautiful girl, Of hearts and of kisses, Of bliss and happiness. And when the roosters crowed, My heart awoke. Now I sit here alone, And think about my dream. I shut my eyes again, My heart still beats warmly. When will you leaves on the window turn green? When will I hold my beloved in my arms?

As a dark cloud Passes through clear skies, When a faint breeze wafts Through the tops of the pine trees: So I make my way With heavy steps, Through bright, joyful life, Alone and ungreeted. Ah, the air is so calm, Ah, the world is so bright! When the tempests were raging, I was not so miserable.

Von der Straße her ein Posthorn klingt. Was hat es, daß es so hoch aufspringt, Mein Herz? Die Post bringt keinen Brief für dich: Was drängst du denn so wunderlich, Mein Herz? Nun ja, die Post [kömmt]1 aus der Stadt, Wo ich ein liebes Liebchen hatt', Mein Herz! Willst wohl einmal [hinübersehn]2, Und fragen, wie es dort mag gehn, Mein Herz?

A posthorn sounds from the street. What is it that makes you leap so, My heart? The post brings no letter for you. Why do you surge, then, so wonderfully, My heart? And now the post comes from the town Where once I had a true beloved, My heart! Do you want to look out And ask how things are back there, My heart?

The frost sprinkled a white coating All through my hair; It made me think I was already grey-haired, And that made me very happy. But soon it thawed, Again my hair is black, And so I grieve to have my youth - How far still to the funeral bier! From dusk to dawn Many a head has turned grey. Who would believe it? And mine has not In the whole course of this journey!

A crow was with me From out of the town, Even up to this moment It circles above my head. Crow, strange creature, Will you not forsake me? Do you intend, very soon, To take my corpse as food? Well, it is not much farther That I wander with my staff in hand. Crow, let me see at last A fidelity that lasts to the grave!

Here and there may a colored leaf Be seen on the trees. And often I stand before the trees Lost in thought. I look for a single leaf On which to hang my hope; If the wind plays with my leaf, I tremble all over. Ah! if the leaf falls to ground, My hope falls with it; And I, too, sink to the ground, Weeping at my hope's grave.

Es bellen die Hunde, es rasseln die Ketten.

The hounds are barking, their chains are rattling; Men are asleep in their beds, They dream of the things they do not have, Find refreshment in good and bad things. And tomorrow morning everything is vanished. Yet still, they have enjoyed their share, And hope that what remains to them, Might still be found on their pillows. Bark me away, you waking dogs! Let me not find rest in the hours of slumber! I am finished with all dreaming Why should I linger among sleepers?

Ach, wer wie ich so elend ist, Giebt gern sich hin der bunten List, Die hinter Eis und Nacht und Graus Ihm weist ein helles, warmes Haus, Und eine liebe Seele drin - Nur Täuschung ist für mich Gewinn!

A friendly light dances before me, I followed it this way and that; I follow it eagerly and watch its course As it lures the wanderer onward. Ah! one that is wretched as I Yields himself gladly to such cunning, That portrays, beyond ice, night, and horror, A bright warm house. And inside, a loving soul. - Ah, my only victory is in delusion!

Was vermeid' ich denn die Wege, Wo die [andren]1 Wandrer gehn, Suche mir versteckte Stege Durch [verschneite]2 Felsenhöhn? Habe ja doch nichts begangen, Daß ich Menschen sollte scheun - Welch ein thörichtes Verlangen Treibt mich in die Wüstenein? Weiser stehen auf den [Straßen]3, Weisen auf die Städte zu, Und ich wandre sonder Maßen, Ohne Ruh', und suche Ruh'. Einen Weiser seh' ich stehen Unverrückt vor meinem Blick; Eine Straße muß ich gehen, Die noch Keiner ging zurück.

Why do I avoid the routes Which the other travelers take, To search out hidden paths Through snowy cliff tops? I have truly done no wrong That I should shun mankind. What foolish desire Drives me into the wastelands? Signposts stand along the roads, Signposts leading to the towns; And I wander on and on, Restlessly in search of rest. One signpost stands before me, Remains fixed before my gaze. One road I must take, From which no one has ever returned.

Auf einen Todtenacker Hat mich mein Weg gebracht. Allhier will ich einkehren: Hab' ich bei mir gedacht.

My path has brought me to a graveyard. Here would I lodge, I thought to myself. You green death-wreaths might well be the signs, That invite the weary traveler into the cool inn. But in this house are all the rooms taken? I am weak enough to drop, fatally wounded. O unmerciful innkeeper, do you turn me away? Then further on, further on, my faithful walking stick.

Fliegt der Schnee mir in's Gesicht, Schüttl' ich ihn herunter. Wenn mein Herz im Busen spricht, Sing' ich hell und munter. Höre nicht, was es mir sagt, Habe keine Ohren. Fühle nicht, was es mir klagt, Klagen ist für Thoren. Lustig in die Welt hinein Gegen Wind und Wetter! Will kein Gott auf Erden sein, Sind wir selber Götter.

The snow flies in my face, I shake it off. When my heart cries out in my breast, I sing brightly and cheerfully. I do not hear what it says, I have no ears, I do not feel what it laments, Lamenting is for fools. Merrily stride into the world Against all wind and weather! If there is no God on earth, We are gods ourselves!

There, behind the village, stands a hurdy-gurdy-man, And with numb fingers he plays the best he can. Barefoot on the ice, he staggers back and forth, And his little plate remains ever empty. No one wants to hear him, no one looks at him, And the hounds snarl at the old man. And he lets it all go by, everything as it will, He plays, and his hurdy-gurdy is never still. Strange old man, shall I go with you? Will you play your hurdy-gurdy to my songs?
