Songwriter's Program
Specialized on the Waldzither for accompaning myself I started on two whole programs of own songs written in German.Meanwhile I transcribed several of my songs into English lyrics, often doing literally a new song to have the music structure matched.
Some songs I write directly in English, like this Fado song,
specially wrote and performed for the first time at the International Citternconference at the University of Coimbra, October 2007:
Nightingale - Fado
copyright Martina Rosenberger 2007
Since you stopped to talk to me,Held back your jokes and laughter
Your silence made a fool of me
Loving you for what you are
Did I lose a brother,
Did I lose a lover?
Never shared my life with you
But losing you still breaks my heart
If once the nightingale sang for you
Your mind will never lose the tune
But you will long for the song
In your heart ever after
How can I miss, what I never longed to have
Knowing our paths continents apart?
Still I felt so grateful for your soul
Living friendly on this earth.
I wish you knew you always had been free
-How could I wish to catch a bird?-
still my eyes won’t stop to fill with tears
knowing you forever gone
If once the nightingale sang for you
Your mind will never lose the tune
But you will long for the song
In your heart ever after
What difference does it really make?
My daily life has never changed
Day by day time rushes by
I only miss to hear your song
