Lets get into the proper winter spirit. A dark and derelict room please and an emaciated tenor. All set? Go! Die Winterreise No. 1. Good Night (Gute Nacht) As a stranger I arrived As a stranger I shall leave I remember a perfect day in May How bright the flowers How cool the breeze The maiden spoke of love The mother had kind words But now the world is dreary With a winter path before me I can’t choose the season To depart from this place I won’t delay or ponder I must begin my journey now The bright moon lights my path It will guide me on my road I see the snow-covered meadow I see where deer have trod A voice within says – go now Why linger and delay? Leave the dogs to bay at the moon Before her father’s gate For love is a thing of changes God has made it so Ever-changing from old to new God has made it so So love delights in changes Good night, my love, good night Love is a thing of changes Good night, my love, good night I’ll not disturb your sleep But I’ll write above your door A simple farewell message Good night, my love, good night These are the last words spoken Soon I’ll be out of sight A simple farewell message Good night, my love, good night (German by Wilhelm Muller, translation by Barry Mitchell. Better sung.) https://youtube/watch?v=DLsaSm5iG9o
