Pinging the Amir ping list.
If you get a ping from me that looks like the Amir ping list, check it out, even if the title of the thread looks like an older one. It could be a new video. I am trying not to do too many separate threads, so when a new video appears, I sometimes notify the list on an already existing thread.
Many thanks.
I love this one. You can just feel the footsteps getting closer, and the people becoming more joyous.
Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme
Wake up, the voice calls us
Der Wächter sehr hoch auf der Zinne,
of the watchmen high up on the battlements,
Wach auf, du Stadt Jerusalem!
wake up, you city of Jerusalem!
Mitternacht heißt diese Stunde;
This hour is called midnight;
Sie rufen uns mit hellem Munde:
they call us with a clear voice:
Wo seid ihr klugen Jungfrauen?
where are you, wise virgins ?
Wohl auf, der Bräutgam kömmt;
Get up, the bridegroom comes;
Steht auf, die Lampen nehmt! Alleluja!
Stand up, take your lamps! Hallelujah!
Macht euch bereit
Make yourselves ready
Zu der Hochzeit,
for the wedding,
Ihr müsset ihm entgegen gehn!
you must go to meet him!
