"love song" by rainer maria rilke

[tinaltsr]

In the end it doesn't so not matter if you're black or white? BUUUUHU it's a skincolour, and... what else? Nothing.

I wonder when people stop being so stupid about such things. I mean seriously, I really don't understand how someone can reduce somebody to his/her skincolour. That's ridiculous and only shows a lack of education and cogitation (sorry, but otherwise it's simply impossible to have such an opinion).

So beautiful thankyou - really cheered me up this morning!

[heavenScreature]

[catonic]

pablo picasso, rothkos, rilkes

[langstonify]

Thanks so much for this one.

[tinaltsr]

How dare you @Btrachter!!

[Btrachter]

@tinaltsr Dare waht?

Post my opinion?

Some blacks are offendet as well if a white person claims their culture..

whatever- I dont care about your reactions..

[Btrachter]

Read black poets or hip hop. Rilke is not for black people. it doesnt fit.

[atr4ever]

@Btrachter WTF?

[twilight4192]

@Btrachter You- sir (no Capitals, for you!) are the kind of bigoted, racist ass, Rilke would have been revolted by! Go back to your Bunker!

[Btrachter]

@twilight4192 calm down. Your comment is still not as gay as twilight. Rilke admired Mussolini and fascism btw. :D :D

[StageRagger4Live]

it's better in german^^

[bonavoluntas]

Schöne lesung! You read simply and beautifully and bring this poem to life.

[TheLastEmoKid]

Lets lie in bed and recite Rilke to each other.

[CCPoetryNow]

Thank you for sharing...added to favourites..Love & Appreciation:)

[RilkeForum]

You are so sweet and I love your recitation and also the English translation. Best wishes!

[TheIrregularVerb]

read the german original please :P

[davidwaynedunnis]

lovely

[Pilifip]

You make poems sexy

[otispickett]

You told me this poem by your eyes - not by your lips.

Es ist wunderschön Dich das in einer anderen Sprache fühlen zu sehen !

Danke !

[kolbasslimfast]

with that smile you could illuminate a city i think :)

[lilacmoonZ8]

I  love your reading of my favorite Rilke poem.

[frozenwhitebear]

I very much enjoyed your charming recital of this "song" in spoken words.... when you know the original, it is very interesting, how this poem lives on the wings of another language... :)

[yummy1471]

Well done. That was v good

[tabitabihayhay]

I have never thought that this poem could be that emotional in english translation as well. This is the first time I have heard it translated. Very Good

[rchlboyd]

i'm so glad that i didn't run into another cheesy montage after searching for this poets name on you tube ... your beautiful

[scharfsinnlich]

beautiful !

[Artumba]

girl, you are beautiful!

[Memberofdoom]

That was beautiful. Beautiful imagery, and that reading gave me goosebumps. I do have to wonder, though, what we're losing in the translation... it's like reading epic poetry, they say when you read the Odyssey in the original Greek it's a whole different picture.

[1zangelique]

Love it! And how charming you are! Garekin

[MoTelling84]

I realy love this poem!!!

[VictorRosenchild]

You are beautiful & indeed your heart has come to enhance your words enabling them to reach out into the ether that is life and causing life to renew itself in me and I am certain others. Thank you for it, thank you for being who you really are, for being you; for it is you that makes these words live and forever be apart of me.

Von'Victor Valentino Rosenchild (me)

Thank you once again.

[justanotherusername8]

I loved that. Nice job, just what i needed to hear.

[PrinzVidar]

Nice!! Here the original Lyrics Part 1

Liebes-Lied

Wie soll ich meine Seele halten, daß

sie nicht an deine rührt? Wie soll ich sie

hinheben über dich zu anderen Dingen?

Ach gerne möcht ich sie bei irgendwas

Verlorenem im Dunkel unterbringen

an einer fremden stillen Stelle, die

nicht weiterschwingt, wenn deine Tiefen schwingen.

[PrinzVidar]

Part 2

Doch alles, was uns anrührt, dich und mich,

nimmt uns zusammen wie ein Bogenstrich,

der aus zwei Saiten eine Stimme zieht.

Auf welches Instrument sind wir gespannt?

Und welcher Geiger hat uns in der Hand?

O süßes Lied.

[LetterbombRadios12]

you're like; insanely goregeous :O

[surrected4526]

Thoughtful and articulate reading. Thank you.

[RoseImWasser]
