Piano Concerto No.2 in C minor, Op.18: 3. Allegro scherzando - Yuja Wang , Sergei Rachmaninoff , Claudio Abbado , Mahler Chamber Orchestra translation in German

Piano Concerto No.2 in C minor, Op.18: 3. Allegro scherzando

Klavierkonzert Nr. 2 in c-Moll, Op.18: 3. Allegro scherzando

Driven by blows, ten times repeated,

Getrieben von Schlägen, zehnmal wiederholt,

The enemy force has retreated,

Hat sich der Feind zurückgezogen,

And in the uncertain fight

Und im ungewissen Kampf

Drifts away towards the right,

Driftet er nach rechts ab,

So defusing all the force

So entschärft er die Kraft

Of their army′s sinister course.

Ihrer Armee im finsteren Lauf.

Our phalanx with its spears tightening

Unsere Phalanx mit erhobenen Speeren

Moves to the right, and like lightening

Rückt nach rechts und wie ein Blitz

Strikes them in the weakest place:

Trifft sie an der schwächsten Stelle:

Now like the storm-driven waves

Nun wie sturmgepeitschte Wellen

They roar, with opposing force,

Toben sie, mit gegnerischer Kraft,

Wildly on their dual course:

Wilde auf zweifachem Kurs:

Gloriously all sound dies away,

Herrlich verklingt aller Klang,

And victory is ours, I'd say!

Und der Sieg ist unser, sag ich dir!
