Johannes Brahms "Da unten im Tale" - Werner Güra

Johannes Brahms
Deutsche Volkslieder WoO 33
Da unten im Tale
Werner Güra - Tenor
Christoph Berner - Piano

Da unten im Tale
Läuft's Wasser so trüb,
Und i kann dir's net sagen,
I hab' di so lieb.

Sprichst allweil von Liebe,
Sprichst allweil von Treu',
Und a bissele Falschheit
Is auch wohl dabei.

Und wenn i dir's zehnmal sag,
Daß i di lieb und mag,
Und du willst nit verstehn,
Muß i halt weitergehn.

Für die Zeit, wo du gliebt mi hast,
Da dank i dir schön,
Und i wünsch, daß dir's anderswo
Besser mag gehn.

Down in the valley there
the water flows so sadly,
and I can't tell you
that I love you so.

You always speak of love,
you always speak of fidelity,
but a bit of falsehood
is always there too.

And if I tell you ten times,
that I love and like you,
and you do not want to understand,
then I will have to move on.

For the time that you have loved me,
I thank you kindly,
and I wish that somewhere else
things may go better for you.

Beautiful song, beautifully sung, beautifully accompanied. It would be nice if you gave us the text. - Without the poetry we only get 50%.

[mutewoman]

You're right - it's fixed.

[Namoril]

Thank you. I did not think of clicking on "more info" in the box on the right. Maybe the text was there all along?

[mutewoman]

No, it wasn't - I put it there after your comment! But sometimes the texts are there, it's always worth a click:)

[Caerlean]

I'm singing this for a major audition. It's a fantastic song.

[mutewoman]

My very very favourite. All the best for your audition - just see you get the accent right ;)
