Der Leiermann
Druben hinterm Dorfe steht ein Leiermann,
Und mit starren Fingern dreht er was er kann.
Barfuss auf dem Eise wankt er hin und her,
Und sein kleiner Teller bleibt ihm immer leer.
Keiner mag ihn horen, keiner sieht ihn an.
Und die Hunde knurren um den alten Mann.
Und er lasst es gehen alles, wie es will.
Dreht und seine Leier steht ihm nimmer still.
Wunderlicher Alter, soll ich mit dir geh.n?
Willst zu meinen Liedern deine Leier dreh.n? |
The Hurdy-Gurdy Man
Over there beyond the village stands an organ-grinder,
And with numb fingers he plays as best he can.
Barefoot on the ice, he totters here and there,
And his little plate is always empty.
No one listens to him, no one notices him,
And the dogs growl around the old man.
And he just lets it happen, as it will,
Plays, and his hurdy-gurdy is never still.
Strange old man, shall I go with you?
Will you play your organ to my songs?

오르간 악사
저기 동네 밖에 오르간 악사가 서 있고,
마비된 손가락으로 최선을 다해 연주한다.
그는 얼음위에서 맨발로 앞뒤로 비틀거리며,
그의 작은 접시는 항상 빈채로 놓여있다.
아무도 그를 듣기 원치않고, 눈길 준적도 없고,
그 노인 주위로 개들은 으르렁거린다.
그는 이런 것들을 모두 내버려두고,
연주하기에 그의 오르간은 멈추지 않는다.
이상한 노인이여, 내가 당신과 함께 갈까요?
당신은 내 노래에 맞추어 오르간을 타렵니까?
Synopsis
This song is the one of Band 5, Side 4, Die Winterreise, D. 911(The Winter Journey). Der Leiermann (The Hurdy-Gurdy Man) Behind the village stands a hurdy-gurdy man, cranking his instrument with frozen fingers. His begging bowl is always empty; no one listens to his music, and the dogs growl at him. But his playing never stops. “Strange old man. Shall I come with you? Will you play your hurdy-gurdy to accompany my songs?”
Composer Franz Schubert
Franz Peter Schubert (31 January 1797 – 19 November 1828) was an Austrian composer. Schubert died at 31 but was extremely prolific during his lifetime. His output consists of over six hundred secular vocal works (mainly Lieder), seven complete symphonies, sacred music, operas, incidental music and a large body of chamber and piano music. Appreciation of his music while he was alive was limited to a relatively small circle of admirers in Vienna, but interest in his work increased significantly in the decades following his death. Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms and other 19th-century composers discovered and championed his works. Today, Schubert is ranked among the greatest composers of the late Classical era and early Romantic era and is one of the most frequently performed composers of the early nineteenth century.
나의 어린 시절 회상
내가 혜화국민학교 3, 4학년 시절의 이야기다. 그때 우리는 경동중학근방에 있었던 돈암동 광업진흥회사 사택에서 살았고 1946년에서 1948년간이었다. 그 당시 많은 책자가 쏟아져 나왔다. 어린이와 소년을 위한 월간잡지, 만화도 萱獵

I have had great satisfaction with my recent Schubert song cycle and will end for the time being.
And the background flower image was just great.
I want to learn how to make the background image using some other beautiful flowers.
Can you kindly teach me again?
Thank you.
