Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt (Schubert) -- Tracy Cox
[Schubert Lieder]
"Lied der Mignon" no.4 'Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt'
soprano Tracy Cox
pianist Pierre-André Doucet
Only one who knows longing
Goethe
Translation by Lawrence Snyder
Only one who knows longing
Knows what I suffer!
Alone and cut off
From all joy,
I look into the firmament
In that direction.
Ach! he who loves and knows me
Is far away.
I am reeling,
My entrails are burning.
Only one who knows longing
Knows what I suffer!
