J.S. Bach's Coffee Cantata BWV 211 -- Recitative (10 of 11)
Narrator
Now Schlendrian goes off and looks at last,
to satisfy his daughter Liesgen
he tries to find a husband fast.
But Liesgen secretly implies:
No man will pass before my eyes
unless he's sworn and won't mistake it
and signed his name to our marriage contract,
that grants me freedom to the act
of Coffee when I want to make it.
Its a nice idea to perform Bachs coffee cantata as little opera piece. But english is not the appropriate language for singing Bach, although its easier for americans to follow the performance.
