Coppelius — Nachwort song lyrics and translation
The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Nachwort" by Coppelius.
Lyrics
Aber sowie sich immer kühner
und freier des Gesanges Schwingen regten,
wie immer feuriger funkelnd
der Töne Strahlen mich umfingen,
da ward meine innere Musik —
so lange tot und starr — entzündet
und schlug empor in mächtigen herrlichen Flammen.
Ach! — ich hatte ja zum ersten Mal
in meinem Leben Musik gehört.
Lyrics translation
But as well as getting bolder
and freer of song swings stirred,
as always, fiery sparkling
the sounds radiate around me,
there was my inner music —
so long dead and rigid-inflamed
and he went up in Mighty and glorious flames.
Ah! - I had yes for the first time
heard music in my life.
