Death in Venice, Op. 88: "Ah, Serenissima!"
Tod in Venedig, Op. 88: "Ah, Serenissima!"
Ah, serenissima
Ah, Serenissima
Serenissima
Serenissima
Where should I come but to you to soothe and revive me?
Wohin sollte ich kommen, wenn nicht zu dir, um mich zu beruhigen und zu beleben?
Where but to you to live that magical
Wo sonst als bei dir, um jenes verzauberte
Life between the sea and the city?
Leben zwischen Meer und Stadt zu führen?
Magical life
Verzauberndes Leben
What lies in wait for me here, ambiguous Venice?
Was lauert hier auf mich, vieldeutiges Venedig?
What lies in wait for me?
Was erwartet mich hier?
Where water is married to stone, water and
Wo sich Wasser mit Stein vereint, Wasser und
Stone, and passion confuses the senses
Stein, und Leidenschaft die Sinne verwirrt
Ambiguous Venice
Vieldeutiges Venedig
Ambiguous Venice
Vieldeutiges Venedig
Passengers must follow
Passagiere müssen folgen
Ambiguous Venice
Vieldeutiges Venedig
Follow where I lead
Folgt, wohin ich führe
No choice for the living, no choice for the dead
Keine Wahl für die Lebenden, keine für die Toten
Where is the man going?
Wohin fährt der Mann?
I want to go to Schiavone
Ich möchte nach Schiavone
The signore is going to the Lido
Der Signore fährt zum Lido
Yes
Ja
By vaporetto
Mit dem Vaporetto
The signore cannot go by vaporetto
Der Signore kann nicht mit dem Vaporetto fahren
The vaporetto does not take baggage
Das Vaporetto nimmt kein Gepäck
That is my affair
Das ist meine Angelegenheit
You will turn round
Sie werden umkehren
Nobody shall bid me
Niemand soll mir befehlen
I go where I choose
Ich gehe, wohin ich wünsche
I go my own way, I have nothing to lose
Ich gehe meinen Weg, ich habe nichts zu verlieren
Is it money he's after?
Geht es ihm um Geld?
The signore will pay
Der Signore wird zahlen
I will pay nothing if you do not take me where I want to go
Ich zahle nichts, wenn Sie mich nicht wohin bringen, wo ich will
To the Lido
Zum Lido
But not with you
Aber nicht mit Ihnen
I row you where- He rows where- ...
Ich rudere dich wohin- Er rudert wohin- ...
I shall leave him alone
Ich werde ihn in Ruhe lassen
They know how I row there- Go back to my dreams
Sie kennen mein Rudern dort- Zurück zu meinen Träumen
...
...
They take what I give
Sie nehmen, was ich gebe
To the sway of the boat and the infinite rapids
Zum Schaukeln des Bootes und den endlosen Stromschnellen
Serenissima
Serenissima
Serenissima
Serenissima
I am a god
Ich bin ein Gott
Serenissima
Serenissima
Serenissima
Serenissima
Nobody shall bid me
Niemand soll mir befehlen
I do what I want to and not have to please
Ich tue, was ich möchte und muss nicht gefallen
Buongiorno, signore
Buongiorno, signore
This way, signore
Hier entlang, signore
Prego
Prego
One moment please, I have not paid the gondolier
Einen Moment bitte, ich habe den Gondoliere nicht bezahlt
Why?
Warum?
He's gone
Er ist verschwunden
Gone without his money
Ohne sein Geld verschwunden
He made off, signore
Er ist entkommen, signore
A bad lot
Ein schlechter Kerl
He was recognized here
Er wurde hier erkannt
A bad lot
Ein schlechter Kerl
A man we don't trust
Ein Mann, dem wir nicht vertrauen
A man without a license
Ein Mann ohne Lizenz
But the signore is lucky
Aber der Signore hat Glück
He had his gondola ride for nothing
Er hatte die Gondelfahrt umsonst
