lyrics

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART (1756-1791)

Als Luise die Briefe ihres ungetreuen Liebhabers verbrannte
Text by Gabriele von Baumberg

Erzeugt von heißer Phantasie,
In einer schwärmerischen Stunde
Zur Welt gebrachte, geht zu Grunde,
Ihr Kinder der Melancholie!

Ihr danket Flammen euer Sein,
Ich geb' euch nun den Flammen wieder,
Und all' die schwärmerischen Lieder,
Denn ach! er sang nicht mir allein.

Ihr brennet nun, und bald, ihr Lieben,
Ist keine Spur von euch mehr hier.
Doch ach! der Mann, der euch geschrieben,
Brennt lange noch vielleicht in mir.


WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART (1756-1791)

As Luisa burned the letters from her unfaithful lover
Translation by Lisette Oropesa

Generated in a hot fantasy,
In a passionate hour
To the world once brought, now go to the ground,
Your offspring of melancholy!

You who thanks to flames now exist,
I give you back to the flames,
And all the passionate songs,
Because ah! He sang not just to me alone.

You burn now, and soon, you loved ones,
There will be no trace of you here any more.
But ah! The man, he who wrote you,
Will yet burn perhaps a long time within me.
