Momento Musical

Wagner, a última cena de Götterdämmerung, última ópera da tetralogia Der Ring des Nibelungen. Eu ando mesmo viciado nisto...

Mein Erbe nun nehm' ich zu eigen.
Verfluchter Reif! Furchtbarer Ring!
Dein Gold fass' ich und geb' es nun fort.
Der Wassertiefe weise Schwestern,
des Rheines schwimmende Töchter,
euch dank' ich redlichen Rat.
Was ihr begehrt, ich geb' es euch:
aus meiner Asche nehmt es zu eigen!
Das Feuer, das mich verbrennt,
rein'ge vom Fluche den Ring!
Ihr in der Flut löset ihn auf,
und lauter bewahrt das lichte Gold,
das euch zum Unheil geraubt.
Fliegt heim, ihr Raben!
Raunt es eurem Herren,
was hier am Rhein ihr gehört!
An Brünnhildes Felsen fahrt vorbei! -
Der dort noch lodert,
weiset Loge nach Walhall!
Denn der Götter Ende dämmert nun auf.
So - werf' ich den Brand
in Walhalls prangende Burg.
Grane, mein Roß!
Sei mir gegrüßt!
Weißt du auch, mein Freund,
wohin ich dich führe?
Im Feuer leuchtend, liegt dort dein Herr,
Siegfried, mein seliger Held.
Dem Freunde zu folgen, wieherst du freudig?
Lockt dich zu ihm die lachende Lohe?
Fühl' meine Brust auch, wie sie entbrennt;
helles Feuer das Herz mir erfaßt,
ihn zu umschlingen, umschlossen von ihm,
in mächtigster Minne vermählt ihm zu sein!
Heiajoho! Grane!
Grüß' deinen Herren!
Siegfried! Siegfried! Sieh!
Selig grüßt dich dein Weib!

Desgarrada

O meu amigo Musicólogo presenteou-nos com a sua selecção de citações de Woody Allen. Eu, como não gosto de ficar atrás de ninguém senão naquelas situações em que é mais agradável estar atrás de certas pessoas, decidi fazer a minha própria selecção.

I believe there is something out there watching over us – unfortunately it's the government.

What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank.

I feel sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it's fantastic.

A fast word about oral contraception. I was involved in an extremely good example of oral contraception two weeks ago. I asked a girl to go to bed with me, she said 'no'.

Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.

How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.

Most of the time I don't have much fun. The rest of the time I don't have any fun at all.

On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.

If God exists, I hope he has a good excuse.

Life is like a concentration camp... you can't leave without dying.
