Wenn der Kummer naht, Liegen wüst die Gärten der Seele, Welkt hin und stirbt die Freude, der Gesang. Dunkel ist das Leben, ist der Tod. Li Po (701-762) (Translated from the Chinese by Hans Bethge) from Das Lied von der Erde by Gustav Mahler |
When sorrow draws near, Wasted lie the gardens of the soul, Withered and dying are joy and song. Dark is life, is death. (English translation by Deryck Cooke) |
