It is a quintessential ‘Viennese’ lied which offers poignant insight into the composer’s inner world as he reflects on a life of displacement, upheaval and reveals his own \u003cem\u003eSehnsucht\u003c\/em\u003e (intense longing) for the past in this bittersweet ode to the city of his birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBürger completed the music and lyrics for \u003cem\u003eGood-bye, Vienna\u003c\/em\u003e on February 24th, 1988 from his apartment in Queens, NY at the age of 90; nearly fifty years after leaving Europe due to the annexation (Anschluss) of Austria by the Third Reich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis new arrangement by Exilarte dutifully honours the original version, transforming the work into a beautiful presentation for voice and orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Dr. Ryan Hugh Ross\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLyrics\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eEinmal lebte ich in Wien, im schönen Wien.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAber jetzt ist es nicht mehr mein Wien.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWo sind die Zeiten, die frohen Zeiten,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDa jung ich war voll Lebensmut?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSie sind vergangen,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eso schnell, so schnell vergangen,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ees war ein Traum, ich merkt es kaum.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWo sind die Spiele des frühen Lebens?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eEr strebt zum Ziele, kann es nicht fassen\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDas Glück in seiner Hand,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWeiß nicht wie es entschwand.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWo sind die Zeiten, die schönen Zeiten,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSie sind vorbei, so schnell vorbei!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce I lived in Vienna, in beautiful Vienna\u003cbr\u003eBut it is no longer my Vienna\u003cbr\u003eWhere are the times, the joyful times\u003cbr\u003eWhen I was full of youthful courage?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey have passed,\u003cbr\u003eso quickly gone\u003cbr\u003eIt was a dream, I hardly noticed its passing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere are the playful games of early life?\u003cbr\u003eThe goal for which he strove cannot be reached\u003cbr\u003eThe happiness in your hand, I know not\u003cbr\u003ewhat became of it\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere are those times, those joyful times\u003cbr\u003eThey are gone, so quickly gone!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnglish Translation by Dr. Ryan Hugh Ross\u003cbr\u003e© 2018.
