A Midsummer Night's Dream, Op. 64: "How Now, Mad Spirit?" - Alfred Deller feat. Stephen Terry, Thomas Hemsley, Josephine Veasey, London Symphony Orchestra & Benjamin Brittentranslation in German
How
now,
mad
spirit!
Wie
nun,
verrückter
Geist!
What
know
about
this
forlorn
dead
girl?
Was
weißt
du
von
diesem
verlassenen
toten
Mädchen?
See!
Sieh!
See!
Sieh!
My
mistress
with
a
monster
is
in
love
Meine
Herrin
ist
in
ein
Monster
verliebt
My
mistress
with
a
monster
is
in
love
Meine
Herrin
ist
in
ein
Monster
verliebt
This
far
out
better
than
I
could
devise
Das
geht
weit
über
meinen
Plan
hinaus
But
hast
though
yet
latch'd
the
Athenian's
Aber
hast
du
die
Augen
des
Atheners
getroffen
Eyes
with
a
love
juice
as
I
did
Medea's?
Mit
dem
Liebestrank,
wie
ich
es
bei
Medea
tat?
Stand
close
Bleib
verborgen
This
is
the
same
Athenian
Dies
ist
derselbe
Athener
This
is
the
woman,
but
not
this
the
man
Dies
ist
die
Frau,
doch
jener
ist
nicht
der
Mann
Oh,
why
rebuke
you
him
that
loves
you
so?
Oh,
warum
weist
du
ihn
ab,
der
dich
so
liebt?
If
thou
hast
slain
my
son
during
his
sleep
Hast
du
meinen
Sohn
im
Schlaf
getötet
Plunge
in
the
deep
and
tear
me
through
Stürz
dich
in
die
Tiefe
und
zerreiß
mich
Ah,
good
Demetrius,
wilt
though
give
him
me?
Ah,
guter
Demetrius,
willst
du
ihn
mir
geben?
I'll
no
rather
give
his
carcass
to
my
hounds
Eher
geb
ich
seinen
Kadaver
meinen
Hunden
Out
dog!
Hinweg,
Hund!
Out
cur!
Hinweg,
Köter!
Oh,
hast
though
slain
him
then?
Oh,
du
hast
ihn
also
getötet?
I
am
not
guilty
of
my
father's
love
Ich
bin
nicht
schuld
an
der
Liebe
meines
Vaters
Then
slay
me
fairly,
let
me
be
thy
friend
Töte
mich
fair,
lass
mich
dein
Freund
sein
And
if
I
could
what
should
I
get
therefore?
Und
wenn
ich
könnte,
was
würde
ich
dafür
bekommen?
Ah,
promise
never
to
see
me
more
and
Ah,
versprich,
mich
nie
mehr
zu
sehen
und
From
thy
hated
presence
part
I
swear
Von
deiner
verhassten
Gegenwart
zu
gehen,
schwör
ich
See
me
no
more
when
he
be
dead
or
no?
Sieh
mich
nicht
mehr,
ob
er
tot
sei
oder
nicht?
There
is
no
following
her
in
this
fierce
fame
Man
kann
ihr
in
solch
wilder
Flucht
nicht
folgen
Here
therefore
for
a
while
I
will
remain
Darum
will
ich
hier
eine
Weile
bleiben
So
sorrow's
heaviness
doth
heavier
grow
So
wächst
der
Kummer
schwerer
und
bedrückt
What
has
thou
done?
Was
hast
du
getan?
Thou
has
mistaken
quite
and
laid
the
love
juice
on
some
fool
of
sight
Du
hast
dich
völlig
geirrt
und
den
Trank
für
eines
Narren
Auge
benutzt
Around
the
wood
go
swifter
than
the
wind
Geh
schneller
als
der
Wind
durch
den
Wald
And
tenderer
vessels
look
thou
find
Und
sieh,
dass
du
zartere
Gefäße
findest
I
go!
Ich
gehe!
I
go!
Ich
gehe!
Look
how
I
go!
Sieh,
wie
ich
gehe!
Swifter
than
arrow
from
the
tuttor's
bow
Schneller
als
Pfeil
vom
Bogen
des
Trainers
