Text & Translation

O Tod, wie bitter bist du
German source: Martin Luther

O death
English source: Richard Stokes

O Tod, wie bitter bist du,
O death, how bitter is the remembrance of thee to a man
Wenn an dich gedenket ein Mensch,
that liveth at rest in his possessions,
Der gute Tage und genug hat
unto the man that hath nothing to vex him,
Und ohne Sorge lebet;
and that hath prosperity in all things;
Und dem es wohl geht in allen Dingen
yea, unto him that is gefrorenes gemüse auftauen und wieder einfrieren able to receive meat!
Und noch wohl essen mag!

O Tod, wie wohl tust du dem Dürftigen,
O death, acceptable is thy sentence unto the needy and unto him whose strength faileth,
Der da schwach und alt ist,
that is now in the last age,
Der in allen Sorgen steckt,
and is vexed with all things,
Und nichts Bessers zu hoffen,
and to him that despaireth,
Noch zu erwarten hat!
and hath lost patience!

Composer

Johannes Brahms

Johannes Brahms (7 May 1833 – 3 April 1897) was a German composer, pianist, and conductor of the Romantic period.
