6 Lieder, Op. 57: V. Venetianisches Gondellied
Translation of poem by Thomas Moore
Translated by Lisette Oropesa
GERMAN:
Venetianisches Gondellied
Wenn durch die Piazetta
Die Abendluft weht,
Dann weißt du, Ninetta,
Wer wartend hier steht.
Du weißt, wer trotz Schleier
Und Maske dich kennt,
Du weisst, wie die Sehnsucht
Im Herzen mir brennt.
Ein Schifferkleid trag' ich
Zur selbigen Zeit,
Und zitternd dir sag' ich:
„Das Boot liegt bereit!
O, komm’! jetzt, wo Lunen
Noch Wolken umziehn,
Laß durch die Lagunen,
Mein Leben, uns fliehn!“
ENGLISH:
Venetian Gondola Song
When through the “piazetta”
The evening’s breeze drifts,
Then you will know, Ninetta,
Who waiting here stands.
You know, who despite the veil
And mask knows it is you,
You know how the longing
Burns within my heart.
A boatman’s dress I will wear
At that very time,
And trembling I will say to you:
“The boat lies ready!
O come! Now while the moon
Still is surrounded by clouds,
Let us, through the lagoons,
My life, run away together!"

Sherlock Holmes played it at Watson's request ! "I see that I have alluded above to his powers upon the violin. These were very remarkable, but as eccentric as all his other accomplishments. That he could play pieces, and difficult pieces, I knew well, because at my request he has played me some of _Mendelssohn’s Lieder,_ and other favourites. When left to himself, however, he would seldom produce any music or attempt any recognized air." (A Study in Scarlet)

[@anajovanovic516]

This is such a beautiful version. Learning it now and having trouble with keeping the vowels pure on the # F while applying the sF dynamic marking. You do it so gracefully it sounds totally natural! I'll try not thinking about it so much.

WOOOOW!!!!
