La sera (The evening)
Music: Francesco Paolo Tosti, a song cycle, "La sera"
Text: Gabriele D'Annunzio from "Poema paradisiaco"
Stay here, I beg you.
Do not arise.
Do you need some light?
No.
Let this dream still go on.
Please stay.
Light, like a dagger, may wound us.
This day has been much too long
and already I think of his return with fear.
Light is like a dagger.
You too, you hate it?
By day, your eyes are tired.
It seems you can scarcely
lift those grieving lids,
and nothing is sadder than
the eye-lashes' shadows on your cheeks,
while your mouth smiles no more.
You weep, in your big eyes my soul
and my heart throbs secretly,
O you, sister of pain,
sister of the evening, my only.
To console me in hours of sadness
I created you of the purest essence,
Phantom incorruptible, but without
comforting my real sadness!
La sera (The evening):
1번 곡, piano introduction을 포함, 6곡 구성의 Tosti 연가곡 이다.
인용된 text는 D'Annunzio의 "Poema paradisiaco" 중 "La sera",
3편의 시이다.
Poema paradisiaco, 직역하면 Heavenly poem의 의미이지만 여기에서
"Heaven"은 "하늘"을 뜻하기보다는 "Paradisius", 곧 "garden"의
의미라니 "garden (혹은 colletion) of poems" 정도로 이해하면 되겠다.
첫 introduction 이나 6번 곡의 piano 부분이 낯설지않다 하시는 분 있을려나...
Tosti의 다른 연가곡 "Quattro Canzoni d'Amaranta"의 4번째 곡,
"Che dici, o parola del saggio? 무슨 말인가요, 현자의 가르침?"을
들어 보시라.
