CD Name: Aria 2
Artist: Paul Schwartz
Song:Leiermann
Album:New Horizon
German Lyrics:
Drüben hinter'm Dorfe steht ein Leiermann,
Und mit starren Fingern dreht er was er kann.
Barfuss auf dem Eise wankt er hin und her
Und sein kleiner Teller blebit ihm immer leer
Keiner mag ihn hören, keiner sieht ihn an,
Und die Hunde knurren um den alten Mann
Und er lässt es gehen alles wie es will
Dreht, und seine Leier steht ihm nimmer still
Wunderlicher Alter, soll ich mit dir geh'n
Willist zu meinen Liedern deine Leier dreh'n
English Lyrics:
On the corner stands of hurdy-gurdy man
With his stiffened fingers he grinds as best he can
Barefoot on the ice he stumbles to and fro
Empty is cup, and always will be so
No one has stopped to hear him, since he first began
And the dogs are growling at the ancient man
But he lets it all go on as go it will
He keeps the handle turning, it is never still
Wonderful old man, shall I go with you
Will you have your organ play my songs too

I'm sure to purists this is sacrilegious but to me its a fantastic modern interpretation. The arrangement betrays the desolation of the piece so well. Steve Barton's voice is less technical maybe but his emotive tenor absolutely makes up for this. Pure sadness and beauty combined.
