Sergei Rachmaninoff, Yuja Wang, Mahler Chamber Orchestra & Claudio Abbado - Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op.43: Variation 23 Lyrics

Lyrics Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op.43: Variation 23 - Yuja Wang , Sergei Rachmaninoff , Claudio Abbado



A second Emperor's fortunate for me:
Since I'm the Emperor, plain as plain can be.
Now as a soldier I'll dress myself, again,
In armour, dedicated to this higher aim.
My entertainments, fine as they all were,
Lacking in nothing, never brought me danger.
While you suggested something innocent,
My heart longed to fight the tournament:
And had you not dissuaded me from war,
I'd have shone in glorious deeds before.
But when I was mirrored in that realm of fire,
I felt my heart was mine, and made entire:
The fierce element entered in my fate,
Only a dream, and yet the dream was great.
I've thought confusedly of fame and glory:
Yet all was my own neglect, an evil story.
