Wir haben viel füreinander gefühlt, Und dennoch uns gar vortrefflich vertragen. Wir haben oft «Mann und Frau» gespielt, Und dennoch uns nicht gerauft und geschlagen. Wir haben zusammen gejauchzt und gescherzt, Und zärtlich uns geküßt und geherzt. Wir haben am Ende, aus kindischer Lust, «Verstecken» gespielt in Wäldern und Gründen, Und haben uns so zu verstecken gewußt, Daß wir uns nimmermehr wiederfinden.
Heine
Song Cycle by Oscar Strasnoy (b. 1970)

Ja, du bist elend, und ich grolle nicht; Mein Lieb, wir sollen beide elend sein! Bis uns der Tod das kranke Herze bricht, Mein Lieb, wir sollen beide elend sein!

Unsichtbar zuckt auch Schmerz um deinen Mund, Verborgne Träne trübt des Auges Schein, Der stolze Busen hegt geheime Wund, Mein Lieb, wir sollen beide elend sein!

Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz auch bricht, Ewig verlor'nes Lieb, ich grolle nicht. Wie du auch strahlst in Diamantenpracht, Es fällt kein Strahl in deines Herzens Nacht. Das weiß ich längst. Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz auch bricht, Ich sah dich ja im [Traum]1, Und sah die Nacht in deines Herzens [Raum]2, Und sah die Schlang', die dir am Herzen frißt, Ich sah, mein Lieb, wie sehr du elend bist.

Und wüßten's die Blumen, die kleinen, Wie tief verwundet mein Herz, Sie würden mit mir weinen, Zu heilen meinen Schmerz. Und wüßten's die Nachtigallen, Wie ich so traurig und krank, Sie ließen fröhlich erschallen Erquickenden Gesang.

Research team for this page: Emily Ezust [Administrator] , René Slot , Pierre Mathé [Guest Editor] , Johann Winkler
Allnächtlich im Traume seh' ich dich Und sehe dich freundlich grüßen, Und laut aufweinend stürz' ich mich Zu deinen süßen Füßen. Du [siehst]1 mich an wehmütiglich Und schüttelst das blonde Köpfchen; Aus deinen Augen [schleichen sich Die Perlentränentröpfchen]2. Du [sagst]3 mir heimlich ein leises Wort Und gibst mir den Strauß von Zypressen. Ich wache auf, und der Strauß ist fort, [Und das]4 Wort hab' ich vergessen.

10. So hast du ganz und gar vergessen [sung text not yet checked]
Note: this is a multi-text setting
So hast du ganz und gar vergessen, Daß ich so lang dein Herz besessen, Dein Herzchen so süß und so falsch und so klein, Es kann nirgend was süßres [und]1 falscheres sein. So hast du die Lieb und das Leid vergessen, Die das Herz mir täten zusammenpressen. Ich weiß nicht, war Liebe größer als Leid? Ich weiß nur, sie waren groß alle beid!

Aus alten Märchen winkt es Hervor mit weißer Hand, Da singt es und da klingt es Von einem Zauberland; Wo bunte Blumen blühen Im gold'nen Abendlicht, Und lieblich duftend glühen, Mit bräutlichem Gesicht; Und grüne Bäume singen Uralte Melodei'n, Die Lüfte heimlich klingen, Und Vögel schmettern drein; Und Nebelbilder steigen Wohl aus der Erd' hervor, Und tanzen luft'gen Reigen Im wunderlichen Chor; Und blaue Funken brennen An jedem Blatt und Reis, Und rote Lichter rennen Im irren, wirren Kreis; Und laute Quellen brechen Aus wildem Marmorstein. Und seltsam in den Bächen Strahlt fort der Widerschein. Ach, könnt' ich dorthin kommen, Und dort mein Herz erfreu'n, Und aller Qual entnommen, Und frei und selig sein! Ach! jenes Land der Wonne, Das seh' ich oft im Traum, Doch kommt die Morgensonne, Zerfließt's wie eitel Schaum.

Die alten, bösen Lieder, Die Träume [schlimm]1 und arg, Die laßt uns jetzt begraben, Holt einen großen Sarg. Hinein leg' ich gar manches, Doch sag' ich noch nicht was; Der Sarg muß sein noch größer, Wie's Heidelberger Faß. Und holt eine Totenbahre, [Von Brettern]2 [fest und dick]3; Auch muß sie sein noch länger, Als wie zu Mainz die Brück'. Und holt mir auch zwölf Riesen, Die müssen noch stärker sein Als wie der [heil'ge]4 Christoph Im Dom zu Köln am Rhein. Die sollen den Sarg forttragen, Und senken ins Meer hinab, Denn solchem großen Sarge Gebührt ein großes Grab. Wißt ihr, warum der Sarg wohl So groß und schwer mag sein? Ich [legt']5 auch meine Liebe Und meinen Schmerz hinein.
