Renée Fleming @ Song to the Moon LIVE !!! Praha 2009

Velvet Revolution 20th Anniversary Concert in Prague on 17. November 2009.
Czech:
Měsíčku na nebi hlubokém,
světlo tvé daleko vidí,
po světě bloudíš širokém,
díváš se v příbytky lidí.
Měsíčku, postůj chvíli,
řekni mi, kde je můj milý!
Řekni mu, stříbrný měsíčku,
mé že jej objímá rámě,
aby si alespoň chviličku
vzpomenul ve snění no mne.
Zasvit mu do daleka,
řekni mu, kdo tu naň čeká!
O mně-li duše lidská sní,
af se tou vzpomínkou vzbudí!
Měsíčku, nezhasni, nezhasni!


Español:

Luna, que con tu luz iluminas todo
desde las profundidades del cielo
y vagas por la superficie de la tierra
bañando con tu mirada el hogar de los hombres.
¡Luna, detente un momento
y dime dónde se encuentra mi amor!
Dile, luna plateada,
que es mi brazo quien lo estrecha,
para que se acuerde de mí
al menos un instante.
¡Búscalo por el vasto mundo
y dile, dile que lo espero aquí!
Y si soy yo con quien su alma sueña
que este pensamiento lo despierte.
¡Luna, no te vayas, no te vayas!


English:

Silver moon upon the deep dark sky,
Through the vast night pierce your rays.
This sleeping world you wonder by,
Smiling on men's homes and ways.
Oh moon ere past you glide, tell me,
Tell me, oh where does my loved one bide?
Tell him, oh tell him, my silver moon,
Mine are the arms that shall hold him,
That between waking and sleeping
Think of the love that enfolds him.
May between waking and sleeping
Think of the love that enfolds him.
Light his path far away, light his path,
Tell him, oh tell him who does for him stay!
Human soul, should it dream of me,
Let my memory wakened be.
Moon, oh moon, oh do not wane, do not wane,
Moon, oh moon, do not wane...

I've heard this song dozens of times, even by Ms. Fleming before. This performance moved me right down to my soul. Such feeling, such depth, such a voice. And I don't even know what she's saying.

Goosebumps. Shivers. Wow.

[7harobed]

BRAVO!!!

[7harobed]

@JanMelet agreed one of my top ten been singing for 25 years and still this moves me to tears--especially whne fleming Price or Grace Bumbry sings it!

[bootmikeCZ]

best ever!!!

[JanMelet]

Not so well know but in my opinion it belongs in the top ten of the classical repertoire (singing).

[kaloolee]

this was an experience, even on youtube, my what a gift!

[ilpassero1000]

Fleming is fantastic!

A fine tribute tto the Velvet Revolution, Mr. Havel, and your country.May he rest in peace.

Yes, this is so special. Have heard her sing this so many times. But in this one, her voice is really sublime, especially at the end as some comments noted.

This is a very special performance, I think! Especially the ending is amazing. And what an honour that Ms Fleming was the one they chose to perform this song during the Velvet Revolution Concert.
