Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op.43: Variation 22

Rhapsodie über ein Thema von Paganini, Op.43: Variation 22

For myself, I'd deliberately create

Für mich würde ich absichtlich ein

A pleasure house in a pleasant place.

Lusthaus an einem angenehmen Ort erschaffen.

Woods, hills, fields, meadows, open ground,

Wälder, Hügel, Felder, Wiesen, offenes Land,

With splendid gardens all around.

Mit prächtigen Gärten rundherum.

Between green walls of velvet leaves,

Zwischen grünen Wänden aus samtigen Blättern,

Straight walks, where artful shadows please,

Gerade Wege, wo kunstvolle Schatten gefallen,

Waterfalls, spanning the rocks, in pairs,

Wasserfälle, die paarweise über Felsen stürzen,

And all those kinds of water-jet affairs:

Und all diese Arten von Wasserspielen:

Rising nobly, while all round the dish,

Edel aufsteigend, während rundum die Schale,

A thousand little fountains hiss and piss.

Tausend kleine Fontänen zischen und spritzen.

Then I'd have a hut, snug and convenient,

Dann hätte ich eine Hütte, gemütlich und passend,

Where beautiful women might be content:

Wo schöne Frauen zufrieden sein könnten:

And pass the boundless time away

Und die grenzenlose Zeit vertreiben

In the sweetest solitude, and play.

In süßer Einsamkeit und Spiel.

Women, I say: since, one and all,

Frauen, sage ich: denn, eine wie alle,

I think of their loveliness in the plural.

Denke ich an ihre Anmut in der Mehrzahl.
