Lucia Popp - Ach, ich fühl´s - PAMINA

É que... como há um bocado falei de Anjos... não poderia deixar de falar destre outro...
Nesta ária ouvem-se bem as suas maravilhas. Única!!! Delícia do espírito.

Synopsis: Act 2; Hearing the playing of Tamino's flute, Pamina finds and meets Tamino. Her heart is broken when he refuses to speak to her, not knowing that he has taken a vow of silence in-order to pass a test and win her love. When she approaches him and he apparently ignores her, she sings that she feels as if her life is over.

Notes: Ach, ich fühl's, is considered one of the most beautiful pieces of music in the Magic Flute, and perhaps in all of Mozart Opera. The Orchestral accompaniment presses forward as if desperate heart was beating, and when coupled with the lyric vocal line, shows us Pamina's pain and longing for Tamino.

English Translation of German Text

Ach, ich fühl's, es ist verschwunden, (Oh, I feel it, it disappeared)

Ewig hin der Liebe Glück! (Gone forever is love¹s luck!)

Nimmer kommt ihr Wonnestunde (Never again comes the blissful hour)

Meinem Herzen mehr zurück! (Back to my heart!)

Sieh', Tamino, diese Tränen, (See, Tamino, these tears,)

Fließen, Trauter, dir allein! (Flowing, beloved, for you alone!)

Fühlst du nicht der Liebe Sehnen, (You do not feel the chords of love,)

So wird Ruh' im Tode sein! (Thus there will be peaceful rest in death!)

Lucia Popp: Solveig's Song from Grieg's Peer Gynt

Music: Edvard Grieg (1843-1907)
Lyrics: Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906)
The song originates from "Peer Gynt", suite no. 2. (op. 23 no. 19)


The winter may pass and the spring disappear, the spring disappear;
The summer too will vanish and then the year, and then the year.
But this I know for certain: you'll come back again, you'll come back again.
And even as I promised you'll find me waiting then, you'll find me waiting then.

Oh-oh-oh ....

God help you when wand'ring your way all alone, your way all alone.
God grant to you his strength as you'll kneel at his throne, as you'll kneel at his throne.
If you are in heaven now waiting for me, in heaven for me.
And we shall meet again love and never parted be, and never parted be!

Oh-oh-oh ....
