Saddest Songs Ever?

(Bill) that was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing that.

 

I'm very happy to share. And it gives me happiness that you appreciated it. I think Angelika Kirschlager sings it perfectly.

There's a whole album she recorded of Bach arias - but that's my favourite. To my mind, it is one of the greatest moments in classical music.

 

Latin

Iob 28, 12-14
Sapientia vero ubi invenitur?
Et quis est locus intellegentiae?
Nescit homo pretium eius,
nec invenitur in terra suaviter viventium.
Abyssus dicit: "Non est in me";
"Non est mecum".

Iob 28, 20-22
Unde ergo sapientia venit,
et quis est locus intellegentiae?
(...)
Perditio et mors dixerunt:
"Auribus nostris audivimus famam eius".

Sapientia vero ubi invenitur?
Et quis est locus intellegentiae?
Non est in me.
Non est mecum.

English

Job 28, 12-14
But where shall wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?
Man does not know its worth,
and it is not found in the land of the living.
The deep says, 'It is not in me,'
and the sea says, 'It is not with me.'

Job 28, 20-22
From where, then, does wisdom come?
And where is the place of understanding?
(...)
Abaddon and Death say,
'We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.'

But where shall wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?
It is not in me.
It is not with me.

One of Bob's best.

I'm learning to play it on guitar.

End of story that song will straight up make me cry.

 

A song called The Same Old Sun by the Alan Parsons project is the saddest song I have ever heard.
