[Video] William Blake's "Garden of Love" in Multiple Languages? Thread poster: Bryan Crumpler
|
|---|
Does anyone know where to find published, credible translations (sanctioned perhaps) of William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience, perhaps online or otherwise?
I've done a music video on Blake's work "The Garden of Love", which incorporates some complex transformations of the text for musical purposes, and I would like to reference the publications / translations where possible.
The video is here:

I know his work has been translated / analyzed in 29 languages, but I don't know where to find them because I don't know where to start looking in languages I don't know.
All I have found so far are translations in French, German, Spanish and Portuguese

Are there any published in any other languages? ▲ Collapse

I've found two Italian versions, but I'm sending you the best one; shame I can't find the name of the translator!

Just in case someone else is interested:
Il Giardino d'Amore
Nel Giardino D'amore un giorno entrai
e vidi cosa mai veduta prima:
una Cappella eretta proprio al centro
del prato ove ero solito giocare.
Essa aveva cancelli ben sprangati,
"Tu non devi" era scritto sulla soglia;
io al Giardino d'Amore mi rivolsi,
che tanti fiori aveva generato;
e lo vidi di tombe tutto ingombro,
e al posto dei fiori v'eran lapidi;
e Preti neri intorno ad imbrogliare
tra spini i miei piaceri e desideri.
I agree with Minako: beautiful music and a great musician! ▲ Collapse

Thanks, Mianko, for the Japanese and the compliment!

And thanks, missdutch, for doing the weeding out for me!
I wouldn't have had any clue, which is why I was looking for something already sanctioned or published in some anthology.
The composer is Jacob ter Veldhuis btw, a Dutch composer from Groningen. He has a lot of interesting creations to his credit.
Checking Gutnish off the list too.

Vrt ljubavi
Ušetah u ljubavi vrt
Gdje neviđen prizor me svali;
Kapela na tratini, gle
Tu igrah se ko dječak mali.
Kapela, a kračun je krut
I "Nećeš" na vratima plijeni;
Te krenuh u ljubavi vrt
Gdje dražest se cvijeća šareni.
Grumenje grobova vri
Grobišta namjesto cvijeća
Crni talari ko mrski stražari
Trnjem ... See more Vrt ljubavi

Crni talari ko mrski stražari
Trnjem mi krve želje — veselje.

Ogród miłości
Do ogrodu miłości wstąpiłem,
Nie poznałem go- aż tak się zmienił,
Kaplica w nim stała na środku
Gdziem niegdyś się bawił w zielni.
Kaplicę zamknięto na głucho
Ktoś "Nie będziesz..." wypisał nad drzwiami
Więc udałem się do ogrodu,
Co cieszył tyloma kwiatami
Zobaczyłem, że pełno w nim grobów,
Szare płuty w nim były, nie kwiaty
W czerni snuli się mnisi, przechodzili... See more Ogród miłości

Wiążąc cierniem bez litości moje żądze i radości

This is all great.
My friend in Samobor says the Croatian rendering sounds just like 18th century Croatian. Much appreciative of the find!
