Jennifer Smith feat. John Eliot Gardiner & English Baroque Soloists - The Fairy Queen, Act 3: Song: "When I Have Often Heard" - translation of the lyrics into German




The Fairy Queen, Act 3: Song: "When I Have Often Heard"
Die Feenkönigin, Akt 3: Lied: "Wenn ich oft gehört"
When I have often heard young ladies complaining that when men
Wenn ich oft junge Damen klagen gehört, dass, wenn Männer
Promise most, they most deceive; then I thought none of them
Am meisten versprechen, sie am meisten betrügen; dann hielt ich keinen von ihnen
Worthy my gaming, yet what they swore I would never believe
Meines Spiels würdig, doch ihr Geschwur hätt ich nie geglaubt
But, when so handy one made his addresses with looks so
Aber als ein so Gewandter sich näherte mit so
Soft and with language so kind, I thought it sin to refuse
Sanften Blicken und so freundlicher Sprache, dacht ich's Sünde abzuweisen
His caresses; nature overcame, and I soon changed my mind
Seine Zärtlichkeiten; Natur obsiegte, ich änderte rasch den Sinn
Surely a ploy all this waiting deceiving
Gewiss, ein Spiel ist all dies wartende Täuschen
Such is invention and artful leping
Solches ist Erfindung und kunstvolle Verstellung
I find such charms, such crotchets dear believing
Ich finde solche Reize, solch wunderlichen Trug, teures Glauben
I'll have the pleasure, let them have the pain
Ich hab das Vergnügen, sie mögen den Schmerz
If he proves perjured, I shall not be chided
Wenn er meineidig wird, soll ich nicht gescholten sein
He may deceive himself, but never me
Er mag sich selbst betrügen, doch niemals mich
'Tis but a look for him shan't be defeated
'Tis nur ein Blick, denn er soll nicht besiegt werden
For I'll be as hot and unconstant as he
Denn ich bin so hitzig und unbeständig wie er
