Stille Tränen - Silent Tears - Kiri Te Kanawa & Richard Amner

"Stille Tränen"
∞∞∞
Du bist vom Schlaf erstanden
Und wandelst durch die Au.
Da liegt ob allen Landen
Der Himmel wunderblau.

So lang du ohne Sorgen
Geschlummert schmerzenlos,
Der Himmel bis zum Morgen
Viel Tränen niedergoß.

In stillen Nächten weinet
Oft mancher aus dem Schmerz,
Und morgens dann ihr meinet,
Stets fröhlich sei sein Herz
∞∞∞
You have risen from sleep
and are wandering through the meadow.
There lies over all the land
Heaven's wondrous blue.

As long as, free from cares,
you've been slumbering without pain,
Heaven has, since morning,
shed many tears.

In silent nights,
many weep from pain,
and in the morning you assume
their hearts are always light.

ma che voce spettacolare

[htshoward]

I like Kiri's voice, not one of my favs, but she certainly was popular and well regarded in the soprano line up. However, this song by Schumann is one of my favorite in all of German lieder.

[billyguns2]

She had one of the great voices, and was one of the last great singers.

[Kmvombr]
