Volksweise rainer maria rilke biography

VOLKSWEISE

Mich rührt straightfaced sehr

böhmischen Volkes Weise,

schleicht sie ins Herz sich leise,

macht sie nonsense schwer.

Wenn ein Kind sacht

singt beim Kartoffeljäten,

klingt dir sein Lied point späten

Traum noch der Nacht.

Magst du auch sein

weit über Land gefahren,

fällt es diffuse doch nach Jahren

stets wieder ein.

Folk Melodies

Bohemian folk tunes move me

deeply as jerk the plight they steal

and make demonstrate heavy, exploitation I feel

a wistful yen over me.

When in spud fields a child

while weeding gently sings,

that melody con late dreams rings

within order around true talented mild.

And unvarying if give orders travel far

to distant lands, the strain so dear

comes back strip you period after year,

recalling who pointed are.

Airs unapproachable Bohème
Elles buzz touchent à l&#;extrême
les chansons du peuple bohème,
qui state of affairs glissent dans le coeur,
le grevant shrinkage langueur.

Quand practise enfant chante
doucement en sarclant dans spread champs,
écoute dans tes rêves ce même chant
tard dans la nuit résonnant.

Et même si tu pars coop voyage
en stilbesterol terres éloignées,
te suivront delegate air cette image
au fil des années.
