18 Apr 04 - 07:03 AM (#1164258) Subject: Lyr Add: Wiengenlied From: masato sakurai From here: Wiegenlied August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798-1874) Richard Strauss (1864-1949) , "Wiegenlied" , 1878, from Jugendlieder. Die Ähren nur noch nicken Das Haupt ist innen schwer; Die müden Blumen blicken, Nur schüchtern noch umher. Da kommen Abendwinde, Still wie die Engelein, Und wiegen sanft und linde Die Halm' und Blumen ein. Und wie die Blumen blicken, So schüchtern blickst du nun, Und wie die Ähren nicken Will auch dein Häuptlein ruh'n. Und Abendklänge schwingen Still wie die Engelein Sich um die Wieg, und singen Mein Kind im Schlummer ein. Lullaby Only the ears of corn still nod, Their heads are weighed down; The tired flowers seem To be retiring over here. The evening breeze comes on, As hushed as the little angels, And it gently, softly rocks The stalks and flowers. And just as the flowers seem, So do you seem retiring now, And as the ears of corn nod, So your little head also wants to rest. And the evening bells swing As hushed as the little angels At your cradle, and they sing My child into slumber. |

Unfortunately the words to do not seem to match those being sung on the cd. Are there several versions of this do you know? I don't speak the language at all so I can't even paste some of the words from the cd. Has anyone heard it and can recognise the Three Tenors version? Thanks again....Sue |

20 Apr 04 - 06:32 AM (#1165918) Subject: Lyr Add: WIEGENLIED #2 From: masato sakurai I didn't know Strauss had composed another "Wiegenlied" (Op. 41/1), which the three tenors sang. WIEGENLIED OP. 41 NR. 1 Poema de Richard Dehmel Träume, träume, du mein süsses Leben, Von dem Himmel, der die Blumen bringt. Blüten schimmern da, die leben Von dem Lied, das deine Mutter singt. Träume, träume, Knospe meiner Sorgen, Von dem Tage, da die Blume spross; Von dem hellen Blütenmorgen, Da dein Seelchen sich der Welt erschloss. Träume, träume, Blüte meiner Liebe, Von der stillen, von der heilgen Nacht, Da die Blume meiner Liebe Diese Welt zum Himmel mir gemacht. Source: here. |

Stauss Wiengenlied From: masato sakurai One word is different from the text here (Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel): Träume, träume, Blüte meiner Liebe, Von der stillen, von der heilgen Nacht, Da die Blume seiner Liebe Diese Welt zum Himmel mir gemacht. |

20 Apr 04 - 07:03 AM (#1165935) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: R. Stauss Wiengenlied From: Q (Frank Staplin) ?- 4398 correct number Dream, dream, my sweet life, of the heaven that brings flowers. Shimmering there are blossoms that shiver to the song that your mother is singing. Dream, dream, bud of my worries, of the day the flower blossomed; of the bright morning of blossoming, when your little soul opened up to the world. Dream, dream, blossom of my love, of the quiet, of the holy night when the flower of his love made this world a heaven for me. (Rather poor literal translation) |
