Rusalka - "Song to the moon" The painting, the music.

 

Lyrics from Rusalka (opera), Antonin Dvorak, (from Google translate)

Moon in the sky deep

He sees your light far away.

You wander through the world, Divas in the abode people.

Moon, wait a moment, tell me where my loved ones are.

Tell him, let's hug the moon, that he will hug me on his shoulder,

so that at least for a moment he remembers me in his dreams.

Light him far away, tell him, tell him who's waiting here!

The human soul dreams of me.

May it be awakened by that memory!

Moon, don't go out, don't go out!
