@nocturnalduckify Glad you enjoyed it:)

I'm singing this is and I having trouble making it sound more like a lullaby rather than an aria (since that is not the intention of the song.) You have done a great job of making it sound beautiful and free-flowing like the intentions of the lyrics, so I am using your interpretation to try and shape mine :) Thank you for uploading this beautiful piece.

thanks for posting! I"m in 8th grade and singing this. It's absolutly beautiful, and this is helping get the German down better. Danke'! :)

[oakroom48]

I recommend the performance of Dietrich FIscher-Dieskau or other native speaker of German for the language aspect. Good luck! It is a beautiful song:)

Like melodies it moves Gently through my mind, Like flowers in Spring it blooms, And drifts in like perfume; Though when the word comes and grabs it And leads it before my eyes, Like ghostly fog it blanches And disappears like a breath. And even so there rests in rhyme Well-buried a perfume, That softly from a quiet bud Is called by a teary eye.

Thank you for your translation!

Klaus GrothWie Melodien zieht es
Mir leise durch den Sinn,
Wie Frühlingsblumen blüht es,
Und schwebt wie Duft dahin; Und schwebt wie Duft dahin.

Doch kommt das Wort und faßt es
Und führt es vor das Aug',
Wie Nebelgrau erblaßt es
Und schwindet wie ein Hauch; Und schwindet wie ein Hauch.

Und dennoch ruht im Reime
Verborgen wohl ein Duft,
Den mild aus stillem Keime
Ein feuchtes Auge ruft;

Den mild aus stillem Keime
Ein feuchtes Auge ruft;

Thank you very much for your comment! Unfortunately, I do not know Hungarian but I will try to get someone to translate it for me. I have always loved this most beautiful song by Johannes Brahms:)

[Renthead530]

It's not Hungarian, it's German. It's a beautiful song. I'm singing it in my voice lesson this semester (I'm a sophomore in college, vocal performance major). Jessye, and also, Marilyn Horne, are two voices I'm supposed to listen to. Thank you for posting this.

[oakroom48]

Oh - I meant the note from mistyfairy breeze!! [I think it's in Hungarian!]. Yes, of course I know the song is in German ;)Thank you so much for your comment - good luck in your performance activities :)
