Igor Stravinsky - The Owl and the Pussy-cat - translation of the lyrics into German




The Owl and the Pussy-cat
Die Eule und das Kätzchen
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
Die Eule und das Kätzchen fuhren aufs Meer
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
In einem schönen erbsengrünen Boot,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Sie nahmen etwas Honig und reichlich Geld mit,
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
Eingewickelt in einen Fünf-Pfund-Schein.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
Die Eule blickte zu den Sternen empor
And sang to a small guitar,
Und sang zu einer kleinen Gitarre,
"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
"Oh liebes Kätzchen! O Kätzchen, meine Liebe,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
Was für ein wunderschönes Kätzchen du bist,
You are,
Du bist,
You are!
Du bist!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!"
Was für ein wunderschönes Kätzchen du bist!"
Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
Kätzchen sagte zur Eule: "Du eleganter Vogel!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
Wie charmant süß du singst!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
O lass uns heiraten! Zu lange haben wir gezögert:
But what shall we do for a ring?"
Aber was sollen wir wegen eines Rings tun?"
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
Sie segelten davon, für ein Jahr und einen Tag,
To the land where the Bong-Tree grows
Zu dem Land, wo der Bong-Baum wächst
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
Und dort in einem Wald stand ein Schweinchen
With a ring at the end of his nose,
Mit einem Ring an der Spitze seiner Nase,
His nose,
Seiner Nase,
His nose,
Seiner Nase,
With a ring at the end of his nose.
Mit einem Ring an der Spitze seiner Nase.
"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
"Liebes Schwein, bist du bereit, für einen Schilling zu verkaufen
Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."
Deinen Ring?" Sagte das Schweinchen: "Ich will."
So they took it away, and were married next day
So nahmen sie ihn weg und wurden am nächsten Tag verheiratet
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
Von dem Truthahn, der auf dem Hügel lebt.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Sie speisten Hackfleisch und Quittenscheiben,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
Die sie mit einem runzligen Löffel aßen;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
Und Hand in Hand, am Rande des Sandes,
They danced by the light of the moon,
Tanzten sie im Licht des Mondes,
The moon,
Des Mondes,
The moon,
Des Mondes,
They danced by the light of the moon.
Sie tanzten im Licht des Mondes.
