A Midsummer Night's Dream, Op. 64: "Up and Down, Up and Down"

Ein Sommernachtstraum, Op. 64: "Auf und ab, Auf und ab"

Up and down

Auf und ab

Up and down

Auf und ab

I lead them up and down

Ich führe sie auf und ab

I am feared in field and town

Man fürchtet mich auf Feld und Stadt

Goblin lead them up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down

Kobold, führ sie auf und ab, auf und ab, auf und ab, auf und ab

Here comes one

Hier kommt einer

Lysander, run he meet us

Lysander, lauf, er trifft uns

Speak again

Sprich noch einmal

Here we are, drawn and ready

Hier sind wir, gezogen und bereit

Where art thou?

Wo bist du?

Follow me then to plainer ground

Folge mir dann auf ebeneren Grund

Lysander, speak again

Lysander, sprich noch einmal

Thou wouldst not wake, thou coward, art thou fed?

Würdest du nicht erwachen, du Feigling, bist du gesättigt?

Hast bragging to the stars and wilt not come?

Prahltest zu den Sternen, kommst aber nicht?

Ay, art thou fed?

Ja, bist du gesättigt?

Follow my voice

Folge meiner Stimme

We'll try no man who is here

Hier wird kein Mann sich beweisen

He goes before me and still dares me on

Er geht vor mir und fordert mich

Lysander

When I come where he calls, then he is gone

Komm ich, wo er ruft, ist er fort

And I am fallen in dark uneven way

Und ich stürz im dunklen, unebnen Weg

And who will rest me?

Wer wird mich rasten lassen?

Come, thou gentle day, for if but once thou show me thy

Komm, sanfter Tag, zeigst du mir nur dein

Gray light, I find the weakness and revenge this spite

Graues Licht, find ich den Schwachen und räch diesen Groll

Ho, ho, coward

Ho, ho, Feigling

Why comest thou not?

Warum kommst du nicht?

Abide with me, if thou darest

Bleib bei mir, wenn du wagst

Where art thou now?

Wo bist du jetzt?

Come hither

Komm hierher

I am here

Ich bin hier

Nay, bend thou amongst three

Nein, beug dich zu dritt

Thou shalt buy this dear, if e'er thy face by daylight see

Du bezahlst teuer, erblickt je dein Gesicht das Tageslicht

Now go thy way

Nun geh deinen Weg

Faintness constraineth me to measure out my length on this cold bed

Matt zwingt mich, mich lang auf dies kalte Bett zu strecken

Thy days of fortune look to be visited

Deine Glückstage sind bald vorbei

Oh, weary night

Oh, müde Nacht

Oh, long and tedious night

Oh, lange und mühsame Nacht

Abate thy eyes, shy comets from the east

Dämpft eure Augen, scheue Kometen im Osten

Let sleep transcend his shots of sorrow's eye

Lass Schlaf die Pfeile des Kummerauges überdauern

Still me awhile by yonder light

Ruh mich bei jenem Licht

Yet but three

Doch nur drei

Come one more

Kommt noch einer

Two of both kinds make up four

Zwei je Art, das macht vier

Here she comes, cursed and sad

Hier kommt sie, verflucht und traurig

Cupid is a knavish lad thus to make poor females mad

Cupido ist ein schurkischer Bursch, macht so arme Frauen wahnsinnig

Never so weary, never so in woe

Nie so müde, nie so in Weh

Bedabbled with the dew and torn with rice

Vom Tau durchnässt, mit Reis zerrissen

I can no further crawl, no further go

Nicht mehr kriechen, nicht weitergehen

My legs can keep no pace with my desires

Meine Beine können mit meinen Wünschen nicht Schritt halten

Here will I rest till come the break of day

Hier ruh ich bis zum Tagesanbruch

Heben shined Lysander with daily beam of ray

Der Himmel beschien Lysander mit täglichem Strahlenlicht
