Alban Berg (1885-1935)
Wozzeck, Op. 7 (1922): Act I, Scene 3: Lullaby
Eia popeia...
Madel, was fanst Du jetzt an?
Hast ein klein Kind un kein Mann!
Ei, was frag' ich dar nach,
Sing' ich die ganze Nacht:
Eia popeia, mein susser Bu',
Gibt mir kein Mensch nix dazu!
Hansel, spann' Deine sechs Schimmel an,
Gib sie zu fressen auf's neu
Kein Haber fresse sie,
Kein Wasser saufe sie,
Lauter kuhle Wein muss es sein!
Lauter kuhle Wein muss es sein!
Hush-a-bye, baby...
Maiden, what song shall you sing?
You have a child, but no ring.
Why such sorrow pursue?
Singing the whole night through:
Hush-a-bye, baby, my darling son,
Nobody cares, ne 'er a one.
Hansel, go saddle your horses now,
Give them to eat and to spare,
No oats to eat today,
No water to drink today,
Purest, coolest wine shall it be!
Purest, coolest wine shall it be!
Darius Milhaud (1892-1974)
Sept Poemes de La Conaissance d'Este, Op 7 (1913) (Paul Claudel)
VII. Le Point (Introduction)
Je m'arrete: il y a un point a ma promenade
comme a une phrase que l'on a finie.
C'est le titre d'une tombe a mes pieds,
a ce detour ou le chemin descend.
De la je prends ma derniere vue de la terre,
j'envisage le pays des morts.
I stop: there is a point to my walk
as a sentence has which has been finished.
It is the title of a tomb at my feet,
on this turning or descending path.
Here I take my last sight of the earth,
I imagine the land of the dead.
