Johnny Rabe's Elective Senior Recital
Hockett Recital Hall
Ithaca, NY
September 30th, 2010
This song was the last in a set of 3 Spanish songs on my recital and is by Manuel de Falla. This song is about how there need not be a worry in the world because we have this fantastic bread!
See a translation Below:
Canción Andaluza: El pan de Ronda
Aunque todo en el mundo fuese mentira
Nos queda este pan!
Moreno, tostado, que huele a la jara de monte,
Que sabe a verdad!
Por las calles tan blancas, bajo el cielo azul,
Vayamos despacio, partiendo este pan
Que sabe a salud!
Y aunque todo en el mundo fuera mentira,
Esto no lo es!
Vivamos despacio la hora que es Buena
Y vengan tristezas después!
Andalusion Song: The Bread of Ronda
Although everything in the world were a lie,
We still have this bread!
Brown, toasted, it smells of the mountain flower.
It tastes of truth!
Along the streets so white under the sky of blue,
Let's go slowly, breaking this bread
That tastes of health!
And although everything in the world were a lie,
This is not!
Let us live slowly the hour that is good,
And let sadness come later!
Poet: G. Sierra
This is fantastic. A great selection to observe and listen to. Thank you!
