Owen Brannigan feat. Benjamin Britten, London Symphony Orchestra & John Shirley-Quirk - A Midsummer Night's Dream, Op. 64: "O Grim-look'd Night, O Night With Hue So Black" - translation of the lyrics into German




A Midsummer Night's Dream, Op. 64: "O Grim-look'd Night, O Night With Hue So Black"
Ein Sommernachtstraum, Op. 64: "O grimmig blickende Nacht, o Nacht so schwarz von Farbe"
O grim-look'd night, O night, with hue so black, O night
O grimmig blickende Nacht, o Nacht, so schwarz von Farbe, o Nacht
Which ever art when day is not, O night, O night, alack
Die immer bist, wenn der Tag nicht ist, o Nacht, o Nacht, ach
Alack, alack, I fear my Thisby's promise is forgot
Ach, ach, ich fürchte, mein Thisbys Versprechen ist vergessen
And thou, O wall, O sweet, O lovely wall, That stands between
Und du, o Mauer, o süße, o liebliche Mauer, die steht zwischen
Her father's ground and mine, Thou wall, O wall, O sweet and
Ihres Vaters Grund und meinem, du Mauer, o Mauer, o süße und
Lovely wall, Show me thy chink to blink through with mine eyne
Liebliche Mauer, zeig mir deine Ritze, um durchzublicken mit meinen Augen
Thanks, courteous wall, your shield be well-hold
Dank, höfliche Mauer, dein Schild sei wohlbehalten
O country eye, though Thisby do I see, O wicked wall, through
O ländliches Auge, obwohl Thisby ich sehe, o böse Mauer, durch
Whom I see no bliss, Cursed be thy stones for thus deceiving me
Dich sehe ich keine Wonne, Verflucht seien deine Steine, dass du mich so täuschst
The wall methinks, being sensible, should curse again
Die Mauer, denke ich, die vernünftig ist, sollte wieder fluchen
No, in truth, sirs, he should not
Nein, in Wahrheit, meine Herren, sollte er nicht
Deceiving me is Thisby's cue
Mich zu täuschen ist Thisbys Stichwort
Yonder she comes
Dort kommt sie
