Gustav Mahler - Urlicht


Sara Mingardo, alto
Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI
Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, conductor

Primeval Light

O little red rose!
Man lies in greatest need!
Man lies in greatest pain!

Even more would I rather be in heaven!
There I came upon a broad path.
There came an angel and wanted to turn me away.
Ah no, I would not be turned away!
Ah no, I would not be turned away:
I am from God and want to return to God!
The loving God will give me a little of the light,
will illuminate me into the eternal blessed life!
