The Turn of the Screw, Op. 54: Interlude: Variation VI - Scene 7: The Lake

Die Drehung der Schraube, Op. 54: Zwischenspiel: Variation VI - Szene 7: Der See

Oh, rivers and seas and lakes

Oh, Flüsse und Meere und Seen

Is this lake in my book?

Ist dieser See in meinem Buch?

No, dear

Nein, meine Liebe

It's far too small

Er ist viel zu klein

Small?

Klein?

It's huge

Er ist riesig

It's a great white sea

Er ist ein gewaltiges weißes Meer

A sea?

Ein Meer?

Then you must name it

Dann musst du es benennen

Come, Flora

Komm, Flora

What seas do you know?

Welche Meere kennst du?

Atlantic and Aegean

Atlantik und Ägäis

Yes

Baltic, Bosporus, and the Caspian

Ostsee, Bosporus und das Kaspische Meer

Go on

Weiter

Black and Red and White and Yellow

Schwarzes und Rotes und Weißes und Gelbes

And?

Und?

Mainly Mediterranean

Vor allem das Mittelmeer

Go on

Weiter

And, and, and...

Und, und, und...

The Dead Sea

Das Tote Meer

And this one?

Und dieses hier?

Is the Dead Sea

Ist das Tote Meer

Oh?

How can a sea be dead?

Wie kann ein Meer tot sein?

They call it dead because nothing can live in it

Man nennt es tot, weil nichts darin leben kann

Then I wouldn't go in it, and neither would Myles

Dann würde ich da nicht rein gehen, und Myles auch nicht

Go to sleep, go to sleep, my darling dear

Schlaf ein, schlaf ein, mein lieber Schatz

Go to sleep, go to sleep

Schlaf ein, schlaf ein

Sing to her, dear

Sing ihr vor, Liebe

Dolly must sleep wherever you choose

Dolly muss schlafen, wo immer du es wählst

Dolly must sleep wherever I choose

Dolly muss schlafen, wo immer ich es wähle

Today, by the name Salt Sea

Heute, beim Namen Salzmeer

Tomorrow, her waxen lids may close on the plains of Muscovy

Morgen mögen ihre wächsernen Lider sich auf den Ebenen Moskaus schließen

And now, like a queen of the east she

Und nun, wie eine Königin des Ostens

Lies, with a dog to guard her bed

Liegt sie, mit einem Hund, der ihr Bett bewacht

But next, when her short-lived daylight

Doch dann, wenn ihr kurzer Tag

Dies, she's a shepherdess instead

Stirbt, ist sie stattdessen eine Schäferin

But sleep, dear Dolly, you'll sleep

Aber schlaf, liebe Dolly, du wirst schlafen

And when you're lost in a charming dream

Und wenn du im Zauber eines Traumes verloren bist

The sea may change to callous again

Mag das Meer wieder gnadenlos werden

But nothing shall stay the same

Doch nichts soll bleiben, wie es war

That's right, my darling

So ist es recht, mein Liebling

How good you are

Wie gut du bist

Go to sleep

Schlaf ein

Flora, alarm!

Flora, Alarm!

We must go now

Wir müssen jetzt gehen

Go and find Myles

Geh und finde Myles

Hello?

Hallo?

Flora!

There he is

Da ist er

Go to him, go to him!

Geh zu ihm, geh zu ihm!

Oh!

Miss Chaser!

It was Miss Chaser!

Es war Miss Chaser!

She returns to, she to, she to...

Sie kehrt zurück zu, sie zu, sie zu...

And Flora saw, I know she saw, and said nothing, said nothing!

Und Flora sah, ich weiß, sie sah, und sagte nichts, sagte nichts!

They are lost, they are lost, lost, lost!

Sie sind verloren, sind verloren, verloren, verloren!

I'll neither save nor shield them

Ich werde sie weder retten noch beschützen

I give nothing from them

Ich kann nichts für sie tun

Oh, I am useless, useless!

Oh, ich bin nutzlos, nutzlos!

What can I do?

Was kann ich tun?

It is far worse than I dreamed

Es ist weit schlimmer als erträumt

They are lost, lost, lost

Sie sind verloren, verloren, verloren

Lost, lost, lost

Verloren, verloren, verloren

Lost

Verloren
