Im trüben Licht verschwinden schon die Berge,
Es schwebt das Schiff auf glatten Meereswogen,
Worauf die Königin mit ihrem Zwerge.
Sie schaut empor zum hochgewölbten Bogen,
Hinauf zur lichtdurchwirkten blauen Ferne;
Die mit der Milch des Himmels blass durchzogen.
„Nie, nie habt ihr mir gelogen noch, ihr Sterne,“
So ruft sie aus, „bald werd’ ich nun entschwinden,
Ihr sagt es mir, doch sterb’ ich wahrlich gerne.“
Da tritt der Zwerg zur Königin, mag binden
Um ihren Hals die Schnur von roter Seide,
Und weint, als wollt’ er schnell vor Gram erblinden.
Er spricht: „Du selbst bist schuld an diesem Leide,
Weil um den König du mich hast verlassen,
Jetzt weckt dein Sterben einzig mir noch Freude.
„Zwar werd’ ich ewiglich mich selber hassen,
Der dir mit dieser Hand den Tod gegeben,
Doch musst zum frühen Grab du nun erblassen.“
Sie legt die Hand aufs Herz voll jungem Leben,
Und aus dem Aug’ die schweren Tränen rinnen,
Das sie zum Himmel betend will erheben.
„Mögst du nicht Schmerz durch meinen Tod gewinnen!“
Sie sagt’s, da küsst der Zwerg die bleichen Wangen,
D’rauf alsobald vergehen ihr die Sinnen.
Der Zwerg schaut an die Frau, von Tod befangen,
Er senkt sie tief ins Meer mit eig’nen Handen.
Ihm brennt nach ihr das Herz so voll Verlangen,
An keiner Küste wird er je mehr landen

Magnificent!

Thank you. Brilliant piece, but tiring for the pianist!

@@MatthewToogood like so many Schubert songs! Especially those featuring horses, brooks or, in this case, raging waves! May I record my voice over your accompaniment? I really loved it!

The Dwarf
English translation © Richard Wigmore
In the dim light the mountains already fade;
the ship drifts on the sea’s smooth swell,
with the queen and her dwarf on board.
She gazes up at the high arching vault,
at the blue distance, interwoven with light,
streaked with the pale milky way.
‘Stars, never yet have you lied to me’,
she cries out. ‘Soon now I shall be no more.
You tell me so; yet in truth I shall die gladly.’
Then the dwarf comes up to the queen, begins
to tie the cord of red silk about her neck,
and weeps, as if he would soon go blind with grief.
He speaks: ‘You are yourself to blame for this
suffering, because you have forsaken me for the king;
now your death alone can revive joy within me.
‘Though I shall forever hate myself
for having brought you death by this hand,
yet now you must grow pale for an early grave.’
She lays her hand on her heart, so full of youthful
life, and heavy tears flow from her eyes
which she would raise to heaven in prayer.
‘May you reap no sorrow from my death!’
she says; then the dwarf kisses her pale cheeks,
whereupon her senses fade.
The dwarf looks upon the lady in the grip of death;
he lowers her with his own hands deep into the sea.
His heart burns with such longing for her,
he will never again land on any shore.
