GERMAN...
Zögernd, leise,
in der Dunkelsnächtger Hülle
sind wir hier.
Und den Finger sanft gekrümmt,
leiseleise pochen wir an des Liebchens Kammertür.
Doch nun steigend, schwellend, bebend,
mit vereinter Stimme, Laut,
rufen aus wir hochvertraut:
schlaf du nicht, wenn der Neigung Stimme spricht.
Sucht ein Weiser nah und ferne
Menschen einst mit der Laterne,
wie viel seltner dann als Gold
Menschen uns geneigt und hold,
drum wenn Freundschaft spricht, Liebe spricht,
Freundin, Liebchen,
schlaf du nicht.
Aber was in allen Reichen
wär dem Schlummer zu vergleichen?
Drum statt Worten und statt Gaben
sollst du nun auch Ruhe haben,
noch ein Grüßchen, noch ein Wort,
es verstummt die frohe Weise,
leise, leise schleichen wir,
ja, schleichen wir uns wieder fort.
ENGLISH...
Reluctantly, quietly,
Dunkelsnächtger in the shell
we are here.
And the finger is curved gently,
softlyquietly, we knock at the beloved chamber door.
And now growing, swelling, trembling,
with one voice, sound,
highly familiar call from us:
Do not sleep when love speaks the voice.
Is looking for a wise man near and far
People once with the lantern,
how much more rare than gold
People we like and hold,
drum speaks when friendship, love, talks
Friend, my love,
do not sleep.
But what of all the rich
would compare the slumber?
So instead of words and gifts
You shall now have peace,
still a greeting, a word,
It silenced the good way;
softly, softly we sneak
yes, we slink away again.

I must agree. Her voice is absolutely thrilling, and her musicianship faultless.

I was part of the University of WIsconsin-Madison women's chorus over 25 years ago. We performed this piece in concert and I can still sing along with this recording (alto). What a beautiful listen it is!

Looks like all those tedious voice-leading exercises paid off! :-) Seriously, this is one of those truly divine works that sounds like it came directly from heaven. Possibly my favorite among all Schubert's great compositions. As for the singing in this rendition, it's beyond perfection. The Mezzo's voice is pure gold. What a great KZfaq discovery.

The poem is not by Rellstab but by Franz Grillparzer, who wrote also the famous epitaph on Schubert's tomb:"The art of music here entombed a rich possession; but even far fairer hopes." It's the other famous "Ständchen" ("Leise flehen meine Lieder") from "Schwanengesang" that is by Rellstab. (There's a previous comment noting this but it's in German). Wonderful, heartfelt performance in any case.

I love this piece, but usually prefer it sung by a mezzo backed up by a male chorus. This is the best all-female performance I've ever heard, and is now one of my very favourites.

This is one of my 3 favorite pieces and I've preformed it several times in the choir as well as a baritone soloist... never appreciating the female choir before this rendition... very nice, blend was good which is hard to get with higher frequency voices... one thing... the tempo was a hair slow... otherwise, beautiful

This is really good. I don't mind the hamming it up, that's better than doing this as a straight choral piece. This is a bawdy, bawdy song and that shouldn't be lost. The English above isn't right. Here's my attempt.. Hesitant, silent Under cover of the night's darkness Here we are. Here we are. And with finger softly curled Softly, softly Now we tap on our darling's bedroom door. Then with lifting, rising United voices in our intimacy We are crying out loud. Never sleep, when the voice Of desire speaks! A wise man once sought high and low With his lantern looking Just for a human being. How much rarer then than gold, Is a human being that is dear and sweet to us? So when friendship speaks, Love is speaking And darling lady Do not sleep! . . . . . But again, in all the world What is there to compare with slumber? So without bothering you with gifts Or words, we will leave you now So you can have your sleep too. Without a greeting, without a word The happy song falls silent And quietly, quietly Off we creep Silently we creep away.

In the first verse it should be " In des Dunkels nächt'ger Stille", what could be translated as "In the nocturnal silence of the darkness"

Der Text ist von Grillparzer, nicht von Rellstab, von ihm ist das Schubert Ständchen: Leise flehen meine Lieder. Diese Interpretation ist sehr schön gesungen, und schauspielerisch humorvoll dargestellt.

This is wonderful. I like the humorous gestures of the choir too. But see also Janet Baker's recording where you can watch the music go by. I think your English version needs to translate the word "drum" as if it were "darum", which really means "about it", but in the context of this song probably has one of its less frequent meanings: "Therefore". Unless of course, you really do want to wake the "Freundin" up with a surprise.
