Lyrics

O glaube, mein Herz, o glaube:
Es geht dir nichts verloren!
Dein ist, ja dein, was du gesehnt!
Dein, was du geliebt,
Was du gestritten!
O glaube
Du wardst nicht umsonst geboren!
Hast nicht umsonst gelebt, gelitten!
Was entstanden ist
Das muß vergehen!
Was vergangen, auferstehen!
Hör' auf zu beben!
Bereite dich zu leben!
O Schmerz! Du Alldurchdringer!
Dir bin ich entrungen!
O Tod! Du Allbezwinger!
Nun bist du bezwungen!
Mit Flügeln, die ich mir errungen,
In heißem Liebesstreben,
Werd'ich entschweben
Zum Licht, zu dem kein Aug'gedrungen!
Mit Flügeln, die ich mir errungen
Werde ich entschweben.
Sterben werd'ich, um zu leben!
Aufersteh'n, ja aufersteh'n
wirst du, mein Herz, in einem Nu!
Was du geschlagen
zu Gott wird es dich tragen!

O believe,
You were not born for nothing!
Have not for nothing, lived, suffered!
What was created
Must perish,
What perished, rise again!
Cease from trembling!
Prepare yourself to live!
O Pain, You piercer of all things,
From you, I have been wrested!
O Death, You masterer of all things,
Now, are you conquered!
With wings which I have won for myself,
In loves fierce striving,
I shall soar upwards
To the light which no eye has penetrated!
Its wing that I won is expanded,
and I fly up.
Die shall I in order to live.
Rise again, yes, rise again,
Will you, my heart, in an instant!
That for which you suffered,
To God will it lea

[TheLeonardoSaez]

Maravilloso, sublime, emocionante, eterno, mágico, todo eso no es suficiente para describir el milagro de esta magna obra, y esta interpretación soberbia e impresionante, de absoluta referencia. Dios te bendiga

Gustav.

Wonderful, sublime, thrilling, eternal, magic, all this is not sufficient to describe the miracle of this magna work, and this interpretation superb and impressive, of absolute reference. God bless you Gustav.

This is beauty!

[InXLsisDeo]

All the portraits we have of Gustav Mahler cry "Genius". It's impossible not to feel humbled merely looking at this musical giant.

I have this recording on CD. It is a breath taking interpretation of one of the finest symphonies ever crafted.
