The way Jussi Björling interprets this piece is so wonderful. I sit and listen to it at night when ever I want to relax. More correctly known as “The Song of the Indian Guest“ from Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera Sadko. Recorded the 8th of October 1936. Enjoy.
Lyrics (Thanks to the generousity and kindness of Vinga4en):
I söderns hav, i klippans dolda gömma
där vilar pärlan trolskt du såg i drömmen,
på Indiens strand
i undrens land.
Djupt i böljors vimmel
speglars röd dess himmel
över hav som tiger,
fågel Fenix stiger
höra sånger tona,
längta att försona
på de vita vingar,
högt mot rymden tvingar
lyss till ljuva sången,
snart är dagen gången.
I söderns hav, i klippans dolda gömma
där vilar pärlan trolskt du såg i drömmen
på Indiens strand
i undrens land
