Musica di Hanns Eisler dall’ “Hollywooder Liederbuch / Hollywood Songbook” ‎‎(1942/43)‎

An meiner Wand hängt ein japanisches Holzwerk,‎
Maske eines bösen Dämons, bemalt mit Goldlack.‎
Mitfühlend sehe ich
Die geschwollenen Stirnadern, andeutend
Wie anstrengend es ist, böse zu sein.‎

Traduzione francese da Médiathèque – Cité de la Musique
LE MASQUE DU MÉCHANT

Au mur de mon bureau, un masque japonais
Sculpté sur bois et laqué d’or: effigie d’un méchant démon.‎
Je regarde plein de pitié
Les veines gonflées de son front: elles révèlent‎
Combien c’est dur d’être méchant.‎

Traduzione italiana dallo spettacolo “Il dialogo dei profughi” per la regia di Vito Osvaldo Angelillo.

LA MASCHERA DEL MALE

Sulla mia parete è appesa una xilografia giapponese‎
La maschera di un demone cattivo ma con lacca d’oro
Pieno di compassione io vedo
Le gonfiate vene frontali
E sento quanto è faticoso, faticoso, faticoso
Essere cattivi.‎

PAHAN NAAMIO

Seinälläni riippuu japanilainen puusta veistetty
paholaisen naamio, kullalla silattu.
Myötätunto valtaa mieleni, kun katson
sen pullistuneita otsasuonia ja mietin,
kuinka työlästä onkaan olla paha.

PAHAN NAAMIO

Seinällä riippuu japanilainen veistos
kullalla silattu pahan hengen naamio.
Myötätuntoisesti katson
otsan pullistuvia suonia, joista näkyy
miten rasittavaa on olla paha.
