Songs My Mother Taught Me
Songs my mother taught me in days long vanished,
Seldom from her eyelids were the tear drops banished,
were the tear drops banished.
Now I teach my children each melodious measure;
Often tears are flowing from my memory's treasure.
Songs my mother taught me in days long vanished,
Seldom from her eyelids were the tear drops banished,
were the tear drops banished.
(testo originale di Adolf Heyduk, nella traduzione di Natalie Macfarren. Già Antonín Dvorák, nel 1880, aveva utilizzato questo stesso testo per un brano di Seven Gypsy Melodies, op.55)
