Es ist eine schöne Welt - It is a lovely world quoted from Mahler's "Songs of a Wayfarer"
"Ging heut Morgen übers Feld" I went this morning over the field, Dew still hung on the grass; The happy finch spoke to me: "Hey you! Right? Good morning! Hey, right, you, Isn't it a lovely world, lovely world? Chirp! Chirp! Pretty and bright! How the world pleases me!" The bluebells in the field also Ring happily and cheerfully for me With their little bells, ring-a-ring, ring-a-ring, Their morning greetings ring out: "Isn't it a lovely world, lovely world?! Ring, ring! Ring, ring! Pretty thing! How the world pleases me! Heiah!" And then in the sunshine The world began to shimmer, Everything, everything, took on Tones and colours in the sunshine! Flowers and birds, big and small! "Good day! Good day! Isn't it a lovely world? Hey, you! Right! Hey, you! Right! Lovely world!"

ReplyDeletequoted from Mahler's "Songs of a Wayfarer"
"Ging heut Morgen übers Feld"
I went this morning over the field,
Dew still hung on the grass;
The happy finch spoke to me:
"Hey you! Right? Good morning!
Hey, right, you,
Isn't it a lovely world, lovely world?
Chirp! Chirp! Pretty and bright!
How the world pleases me!"
The bluebells in the field also
Ring happily and cheerfully for me
With their little bells, ring-a-ring, ring-a-ring,
Their morning greetings ring out:
"Isn't it a lovely world, lovely world?!
Ring, ring! Ring, ring! Pretty thing!
How the world pleases me! Heiah!"
And then in the sunshine
The world began to shimmer,
Everything, everything, took on
Tones and colours in the sunshine!
Flowers and birds, big and small!
"Good day! Good day!
Isn't it a lovely world?
Hey, you! Right! Hey, you! Right!
Lovely world!"
