Tantzen und springen

Hans Leo Hassler (1562-1612)

Original Text

English Translation

 

Tantzen und springen,
singen und klingen,
Lauten und Geigen,
solln auch nicht schweigen,
zu musicieren, und jubilieren,
steht mir all mein Sinn.

Dancing and leaping;
singing and ringing,
Fiddles and Lutes
must also play on.
To make music and celebrate
is all my desire.

 

Schöne Jungfrauen,
in grüner Auen,
mit in spacieren,
und conversieren,
freundlich zu schertzen,
freut mich im hertzen,
für Silber und Gold.

Lovely maidens
in the green meadow,
To promenade with them
and have conversation,
friendly and playful,
gladdens my heart,
more than silver and gold.


This piece was performed by the SFBC in Early Masters of the German Baroque on October 26, 1996.
