"Amor" from the Brentano Lieder Op. 68 by Richard Strauss

Soprano: Vee Visnov
Pianist: Doug Han
English Translation:
The child sat by the fire.
Cupid, Cupid,
And was blind;
With his little wings he fans
The flames and he smiles,
Fans and smiles, the crafty child!
Alas, the child has burnt his wing,
Cupid, Cupid,
Runs quickly!
‘Ah, how the flames hurt him!’
Beating his wings, he cries aloud,
Seeks refuge in the shepherdess’s lap,
Crying for help, the crafty child.
And the shepherdess helps the child
Cupid, Cupid,
Naughty and blind.
Look, shepherdess, your heart’s on fire,
Didn’t you recognize the child?
Look how quickly the flames spread.
Beware the crafty child!
Fans and smiles, the crafty child!
