Claudio Abbado - Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43: Var. 22 lyrics

Artist: Claudio Abbado

album: Abbado: Mendelssohn, Debussy & Rachmaninoff


For myself, I'd deliberately create
A pleasure house in a pleasant place.
Woods, hills, fields, meadows, open ground,
With splendid gardens all around.
Between green walls of velvet leaves,
Straight walks, where artful shadows please,
Waterfalls, spanning the rocks, in pairs,
And all those kinds of water-jet affairs:
Rising nobly, while all round the dish,
A thousand little fountains hiss and piss.
Then I'd have a hut, snug and convenient,
Where beautiful women might be content:
And pass the boundless time away
In the sweetest solitude, and play.
Women, I say: since, one and all,
I think of their loveliness in the plural.
