Excerpts from Lamentations 1 on June 14, 2020 The city of Jerusalem failed to heed Jeremiah’s warnings as she persisted in idolatry. Title: Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky,(None But The Lonely Hearts) Songs (6), Op. 6: no 6, None but the lonely heart. This, one of Tchaikovsky's best-loved vocal.
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky composed a set of six romances for voice and piano, Op. 6, in late 1869; the last of these songs is the melancholy 'None but the Lonely Heart' (Russian: Нет, только тот, кто знал, romanized: Net, tol'ko tot, kto znal), a setting of Lev Mei's poem 'The Harpist's Song' which in turn was a translation of 'Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt' from Goethe'sWilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship.
Tchaikovsky dedicated this piece to Alina Khvostova. The song was premiered by Russian mezzo-sopranoYelizaveta Lavrovskaya in Moscow in 1870, following it with its Saint Petersburg premiere the following year during an all-Tchaikovsky concert hosted by Nikolai Rubinstein;[1] the latter was the first concert devoted entirely to Tchaikovsky's works.[2]
Text[edit]
Mei's Russian translation (transliteration)
Net, tol'ko tot,
kto znal svidan'ja, zhazhdu,
pojmjot, kak ja stradal
i kak ja strazhdu.
Gljazhu ja vdal'..
net sil, tusknejet oko..
Akh, kto menja ljubil
i znal — daleko!
Akh, tol'ko tot,
kto znal svidan'ja zhazhdu,
pojmjot, kak ja stradal
i kak ja strazhdu.
Vsja grud' gorit..
Net, tol'ko tot,
kto znal svidan'ja, zhazhdu,
pojmjot, kak ja stradal
i kak ja strazhdu.
Gljazhu ja vdal'..
net sil, tusknejet oko..
Akh, kto menja ljubil
i znal — daleko!
Akh, tol'ko tot,
kto znal svidan'ja zhazhdu,
pojmjot, kak ja stradal
i kak ja strazhdu.
Vsja grud' gorit..
Goethe's original
Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt
weiß, was ich leide!
Allein und abgetrennt
von aller Freude,
seh ich ans Firmament
nach jener Seite.
Ach! der mich liebt und kennt,
ist in der Weite.
Es schwindelt mir, es brennt
mein Eingeweide.
Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt
Weiß, was ich leide!
Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt
weiß, was ich leide!
Allein und abgetrennt
von aller Freude,
seh ich ans Firmament
nach jener Seite.
Ach! der mich liebt und kennt,
ist in der Weite.
Es schwindelt mir, es brennt
mein Eingeweide.
Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt
Weiß, was ich leide!

Outline 3 22 0 6. An English translation
None but the lonely heart
knows what I suffer!
Alone and parted
from all joy,
I see the firmament
in that direction.
Alas, who loves and knows me
is far away.
I'm dizzy, it burns
my entrails.
None but the lonely heart
knows what I suffer.
None but the lonely heart
knows what I suffer!
Alone and parted
from all joy,
I see the firmament
in that direction.
Alas, who loves and knows me
is far away.
I'm dizzy, it burns
my entrails.
None but the lonely heart
knows what I suffer.
