Sinfonia Nº 2 - Quinto Movimento
Gustav Mahler
Symphony No. 2 - Fifth Movement
Rise again, yes, you will rise again
My dust, after a short rest!
Immortal life
Will be given to you by the one who called you!
You will be sown again to bloom!
The Lord of the harvest goes
And gathers sheaves
Of us who have died!
Oh believe, my heart, oh believe
Nothing is lost to you!
What you longed for is yours, yes, yours!
What you loved, what you fought for!
Oh believe: You were not born in vain!
You have not lived, suffered in vain!
What has been created must perish!
What has passed, will rise again!
Stop trembling!
Prepare yourself to live!
Oh pain! You all-pervading one!
I have wrested myself from you!
Oh death! You all-conquering one!
Now you are conquered!
With wings that I have won
In fervent love's striving
I will soar
To the light, to which no eye has penetrated!
I will die to live!
Rise again, yes, you will rise again
My heart, in an instant!
What you have struck
Will carry you to God!
