the night is so cold.
wandered in the dark , freezing cold street, unconsciously.
numbed with frozen fear.
frozen loneliness came over me.
the meaning had gone out of everything.
I know I'm supposed to help you, but I can't. Instead of being your support, I'm your weight. Life is very heavy to me. I can't bear this heaviness. I'm not strong enough. In the past, I only needed you for love. But now, I was dependent on you for everything. What would happen if you abandonde me? I'm weak......
A nightmare born from deepest fears... coming to me unguarded, whispering images unlocked from time and distance.
A soul unbound, touched by others but never held... on a course charted by some unseen hand.
The journey ahead promising no more... than my past reflected back upon me... until, at last, I reach the end, facing a truth I can no longer deny,alone, as ever.
Liebst du um Schönheit, o nicht mich liebe! Liebe die Sonne, sie trägt ein gold'nes Haar! Liebst du um Jugend, o nicht mich liebe! Liebe der Frühling, der jung ist jedes Jahr! Liebst du um Schätze, o nicht mich liebe. Liebe die Meerfrau, sie hat viel Perlen klar. Liebst du um Liebe, o ja, mich liebe! Liebe mich immer, dich lieb' ich immerdar.
Mahler: Rückert Lieder - 'Liebst du um Schönheit' by Claudio Abbado & Waltraud Meier
Clara Schumann: Rückert Lieder - 'Liebst du um Schönheit', Op. 12, no. 4
If you love the beauty, youth and treasure, then do not love me; If you love for love, then I will love you forevermore.
