Alfred Deller feat. Benjamin Britten, London Symphony Orchestra, Elizabeth Harwood & Stephen Terry - A Midsummer Night's Dream, Op. 64: "My Gentle Robin, See'st Thou This Sweet Sight?" - translation of the lyrics into German




A Midsummer Night's Dream, Op. 64: "My Gentle Robin, See'st Thou This Sweet Sight?"
Ein Sommernachtstraum, Op. 64: "Mein sanfter Robin, siehst du diesen süßen Anblick?"
My gentle Robin, seize on this sweet sight
Mein sanfter Robin, ergreife diesen süßen Anblick
Adulthood might we begin to pity
Das Erwachsensein könnten wir zu bedauern beginnen
And now I have the boy, I will undo
Und nun, da ich den Jungen habe, werde ich rückgängig machen
This painful imperfection of our eyes
Diese schmerzhafte Unvollkommenheit unserer Augen
Be as thou art wont to be
Sei, wie du gewohnt warst zu sein
See as thou art wont to see
Sieh, wie du gewohnt warst zu sehen
Die in fervor
Stirb in Inbrunst
Cupid's arrow has such force and blessed power
Cupidos Pfeil hat solch Kraft und gesegnete Macht
Be as thou art wont to be
Sei, wie du gewohnt warst zu sein
Now my Titania
Nun, meine Titania
Wake you, my sweet queen?
Erwachst du, meine süße Königin?
My Oberon, what visions have I seen?
Mein Oberon, welche Visionen sah ich?
Methought I was numbed by vice
Ich dachte, ich wäre durch Laster betäubt
There lies your love
Dort liegt deine Liebe
How came these things to pass?
Wie sind diese Dinge geschehen?
Oh, how mine eyes do loathe his visage now!
Oh, wie verabscheuen meine Augen nun sein Antlitz!
Silence awhile
Schweige eine Weile
Robin, take off his head
Robin, schlag ihm den Kopf ab
Titania, music call, and strike Lord Edmund from his sleep
Titania, ruf Musik, und wecke Lord Edmund aus dem Schlaf
Awoke this time the sense
Erwachte diesmal der Sinn
Music, ho
Musik, ho
Oh, my love
Oh, meine Liebe
So it is
So ist es
It is too early for me
Es ist zu früh für mich
Come, my queen
Komm, meine Königin
Take hands with me, and rock the ground whereon this sleeper sleeps
Nimm meine Hand und wiege den Grund, worauf dieser Schläfer schläft
Now thou and I are new in enmity, and we this very midnight
Nun sind du und ich neu in Feindschaft, und wir werden diese Mitternacht
Solemnly dance in young Theseus' halls triumphantly
Feierlich tanzen in jungen Theseus' Hallen triumphierend
And bless it to fair prosperity, that there shall the
Und segne es zu schönem Wohlstand, dass dort sollen die
Pairs of faithful lovers be wed with Theseus' holy jousting
Paare treuer Liebender mit Theseus' heiligem Turnier vermählt werden
Fairy King, attendant, mark!
Feenkönig, Diener, merkt auf!
I do hear the morning lark
Ich höre die Morgenlerche
