由Thomas Hampson緩緩唱出Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen 時

馬勒在1904年 寫 的 Five Ruckert songs 其中的 Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen (I am lost to the world, translated by Robert Markow on 2004 Carnegie hall notes)

I am lost to the world

In which I wasted so much times;

The world has heard nothing of me for so long

That it may well believe me dead!

And it is nothing to me,

If the world should take me for dead.

Indeed, I can say nothing to the contrary,

For truely I am dead to the world.

I am dead to the tumult of this world,

And I am at rest, in a silent space!

I live only in my heaven -------------In my love, in my song.

我作為一戈個Mahlarian不禁熱淚盈眶 久久無法自己................................................................
