Steemit Open Mic Week 48 - Song to the Moon (cover)
For this week, I'm singing an aria from Dvorak's opera, Rusalka. It's basically the Little Mermaid story.
Believe it or not, the Little Mermaid is actually a Czech folk story, and Antonin Dvorak decide to write an opera based on it.
This aria, called "Song to the Moon," or "Mesichku" in Czech, is where the main character, a water nymph named Rusalka, falls in love with a prince who she see from her lake when he stops to rest while out hunting in the forest. She tells the moon of her love for him, and at the end of the aria, decides she will go to the witch Jezibaba to make her human so she can be with him.
Lyrics
O moon high up in the deep, deep sky,
Your light sees far away regions,
You travel round the wide,
Wide world peering into human dwellings
O, moon, stand still for a moment,
Tell me, ah, tell me where is my lover!
If he is dreaming about me,
May this remembrance waken him!
O, moon, don't disappear, disappear!
Thanks to @luzcypher and @pfunk for heading up the #Openmic contest.
