MARIETTA
Joy, that near to me remains,
Come to me, my true love.
Night sinks into the grove
You are my light and day.
Anxiously beats heart on heart
Hope itself soars heavenward.

How true, a sad song.
The song of true love,
that must die.

I know the song.
I heard it often in younger,
in better days.
It has yet another verse--
Do I know it still?

Though sorrow becomes dark,
Come to me, my true love.
Lean (to me) your pale face
Death will not separate us.
If you must leave me one day,
Believe, there is an afterlife.

One of my first LPs was a collection of duets by these guys:



Christopher Lee met Björling in Sweden, but can't remember the full story.

This isn't 'beautiful' but the voice control is out of this world. I play it in the car a lot

The piece is the old favourite Au Fond du Temple by Merrell and Björling.
