I run as a musk‑deer runs
Language:
English
I run as a musk-deer runs
in the shadow of the forest
mad with his own perfume.
The night is the night of mid-May,
the breeze is the breeze of the south.
I lose my way and I wander,
I seek what I cannot get,
I get what I do not seek.
From my heart comes out and dances
the image of my own desire.
The gleaming vision flits on.
I try to clasp it firmly,
it eludes me and leads me astray.
I seek what I cannot get,
I get what I do not seek.

Corro come il cervo muschiato
Language:
Italian
Corro come il cervo muschiato
Che ebbro del suo profumo
Si slancia nell'ombra del bosco.
È una notte di maggio,
E la brezza vien dal sud!
Smarrisco la via e cammino, cammino...
Cerco quel che non trovo,
Trovo quel che non cerco.
Corro! Corro! Corro! Corro!
Dal mio cuore esce e palpita
L'immagin del tuo desiderio
La visione sfolgorante corre, corre veloce
Provo a ghermirla fra le mie braccia,
Ma essa mi sfugge, e smarrisco la via...
Cerco quel che non trovo,
Trovo quel che non cerco.
