CzechoslovakiaANTONIN 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.

******************************************

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.

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.

From Cinco Canciones Negras

Text: Rafael Alberti

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.

Una vieja vale un real

Con el vito, vito, vito,

con el vito, vito, va.

No me haga 'ust' cosquillas,

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.
