Significance the music in my mind
subtleties of harmony and rhythm
rapture evanescent in the score,
the composition must be simplified
if indeed we must grasp it honestly
from music pure aesthetic emotion.
Songs of a bird or children laughing
no need to be ashamed in thought
humanity disregarding the reason,
too ashamed to enjoy themselves
inferior thoughts of drunkenness
dancing trance music to madness,
as such times my emotions weep
Beethoven lying deaf on the floor
thumping a new score in his mind,
The pen lying broken in his hand
confused circumstance my hero
saved me from my fear of failure,
described for better or for worse
pity aroused within a spectacle
the very structure of incidents,
works of art in esoteric objects
hanging on walls with cobwebs
misleading words right or wrong.
Behold the old music in my mind
folk legends with a fairy tale song
humming them in humble homes,
on the other hand the noblemen
spending their lives with idleness
demanding the amusement music,
perhaps we will cheer for payment
if this is the correct work of yours
the dead are never finally buried.
Reflections of our life never ending
singing hymns with heavenly harps
new rhythm sounds in holy theaters.
