Fritz Wunderlich sings "Ich will bei meinem Jesu wachen" J. S. Bach, Matthäus-Passion
Mocht het leven jou ooit misleiden, dan helpen smart en woede niet! Op de dag van somberheid, doorsta het verdriet Heb vertrouwen, er komen betere tijden. Het hart leeft in wat komen gaat; het heden doet teveel pijn; maar alles zal voorbijgaan. Al hij achterlaat, moge het mooie herinneringen zijn. Aleksandr Poesjkin, 1825
Last month a teacher at my son's school died unexpectedly. Weeks before his death, he had asked a student to translate this poem by Poesjkin from Russian to Dutch.
I admire the beauty and depth of the words and it shows how timeless art can be.
