ANTONIN DVORAK (1841-1904)
IPA: /dvok/
Here is a very beautiful performance of mezzo soprano,
Bernarda Fink singing two of the Dvorak Biblical Songs
Op. 99.
Note: These songs were published first in 1894 for
Sop./Tenor or Alto/Baritone and pianoforte. In 1895, he
arranged Nos. 1-5 for orchestra and 6-10 were arranged
by Zemnek.
1. Psalm 97:2-6
"Oblak a mrkota jest vkol nho"
Oblak a mrkota jest vkol nho,
Spravedlnost a soud zklad trnu jeho.
he pedchz jej a zapaluje
vkol neptele jeho.
Zasvcujt' se po okrku svta blskn jeho;
To vidouc zem ds se.

Welcome to SongLiedMlodie.
This blog was created to
provide a place to discuss the
music and texts of vocal
performances of various styles
and languages. All materials

purposes only. For the time

according to geographic
locations. The first topic was
The Music of Spain and South
Hory jako vosk rozplvaj
se ped obliejem Hospodina,
Panovnka v zem.
A slvu jeho spatuj vichni nrodov.
******************************************
Clouds and Darkness are around Him:
justice and judgment are foundations of His throne.
Fire goeth before Him, and sets on fire his enemies
around Him.
His lightnings flash around the world:
the earth sees it, and trembles.
Mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
the Lord of the whole earth.
and His glory is seen by all the Nations.
2. Psalms 119:114-117,119,120
"Skre m a paveza m Ty jsi"
Skre m a paveza m Ty jsi,
Na slovo vzat oekvm.
Odstupte ode mne, nelechetnci,
Abych osthal pikzni Boha svho.
Posiluj mne, bych zachovn byl,
A patil ku stanovenm Tvm ustavin.
Ds se strachem ped Tebou tlo m,
Nebo soud Tvch bojm se nramn.
************************************
Thou art my refuge and my shield: I await Thy word.
Depart from me, ye evildoers:
so that I keep the commandments of my God.
Give me strength, so that I shall be saved,
and that I observe your law always.
My flesh trembleth for fear of Thee;
For I am afraid of Thy judgments, exceedingly.

Unfortunately, there aren't any noteworthy performances
of Dvorak's Gypsy Songs (in Czech) to be found on
YouTube. I highly recommend the two recordings of the
very talented Czech mezzo-soprano, Magdalena Koen.
She sings songs of Dvorak,Janek and Martin.
Here is Renee Fleming singing her signature aria from
Dvorak's Opera, Rusalka.

Text: Stefan Witwicki (1801-1847)
Gdybym ja bya soneczkiem na niebie,
Nie wieciabym jak tylko dla ciebie.
Ani na wody, ani na lasy, ale po wszystkie
Czasy pod twym okienkiem i tylko dla ciebie
Gdybym w soneczko moga zmieni siebie.
Gdybym ja bya ptaszkiem z tego gaju,
Nie piewaabym w adnym obcym kraju.
Ani na wody, ani na lasy, ale po wsystkie
Czasy pod twym okienkiem i tylko dla ciebie
Gdybym w soneczko moga zmieni siebie.
**********************************************
If I were the sun in the sky
I wouldn't shine just on you.
Neither on lakes nor forests but on everything;
Oh the times under your window and only for you
If I could only change into the sun.
If I were a bird from that forest
I wouldn't sing in any foreign country
Neither on lakes nor forests but on everything;
Oh the times under your window and only for you
If I could only change into the sun.

Sarna lubi w gstwinie,
Ptaszek lubi pod strzech,
Lecz dziewczyna, dziewczyna!
Z uciech lubi gdzie niebieskie oko,
Lubi gdzie i czarne oko,
Lubi gdzie wesoe pieni,
Lubi gdzie i smutne pieni.

Streams gurgle through the valley;
Birds are nesting under the eaves;
Deer hide in the forest,
But where can a girl's heart find its home?
Perhaps where there are bright blue eyes,
Or dark, deep, mysterious ones;
But to songs of love or pain
Her heart may or may not fly.
She herself is powerless
As to where her heart will alight.
She is powerless
As to where her heart will stray.
This is Chopins Polish song called piew z mogiy
(Hymm from the tomb), Op. 74, no. 17. The film is a mini
history lesson accompanied by the very beautiful last
song of Op. 74.

Para no pensar en vos
Bajo el arbol del olvido
Me acost una nochecita,

Pensaba en vos otra vez,
Pues me olvid de olvidarte,

The Tree of forgetting
In my neighbourhood there is a tree

to which go to lay down their troubles,
Vidalitay, Vidalitay,
Those whose souls are dying.
So that I would no longer think of you
under the tree of forgetting
I lay down one evening,
Vidalitay, Vidalitay,
And I fell fast asleep.
When I awoke from that dream
I thought of you once again,
because I forgot to forget you,

From Cinco Canciones Negras
Text: Rafael Alberti
Teresa Berganza, soprano; Felix Lavilla, piano
Aix-en-provence festival 18 July 1964
Translation
Ninghe, ninghe, ninghe, so tiny,
the little black child that doesn't want to sleep.
Head of coconut, grain of coffee,
with pretty freckles, with eyes wide open
like two windows that overlook the sea.
Close your tiny eyes, frightened little black boy;
the white boogey-man can eat you up.
You're no longer are slave! And if you sleep a lot
the master of the house promises to buy you
a suit with buttons, so you can be a "groom."
Ninghe, ninghe, ninghe, sleep little black child,
head of coconut, grain of coffee.

El Vito
Text: Anonymous
Una vieja vale un real
y una muchacha dos cuartos,
[y yo, como]1 soy tan pobre
me voy a lo ms barato.
Con el vito, vito, vito,
con el vito, vito, va.
No me haga 'ust' cosquillas,
que me pongo 'color'.
******************************
An old woman is worth a real1
and a young girl two cuartos2,
but as I am so poor
I go for the cheapest.
On with the dancing,
on with the dancing, ole!
Stop your teasing, sir,
else I'll blush!
Note: a vito is a dance full of fire, performed in the
taverns by a woman standing on a table before an
audience of bullfighters.
1 Real: A silver coin.
2 Cuarto: A copper coin.
