Composer: Antonín Dvořák
Title: Song to the moon (from the opera Rusalka)
Original in Czech: “Měsíčku na nebi hlubokém“
Arrangement and Piano: ©Matthias Dobler
I heard Rusalka and “song to the moon“ with Lucia Popp as the water nymph and was fascinated. I searched for a piano arrangement and found nothing. Wasn´t there anyone, who made a piano transcription? No?
Ok, so here´s mine.

The lyrics of these great Aria in English:
Silvery moon in the velvet sky
Your light shines far in the heavens
Over the world, wandering
Gazing in human dwellings
Over the world, wandering
Gazing in human dwellings
Oh, once in awhile, stay with me
Tell me where is my love?
Oh, once in awhile, stay with me
Tell me where is my love... where?
Tell him, oh, tell him, silver moon
That in my arms, I enfold him
Tell him he dreams to tangle me
Even if only for a moment
Tell him in dreams to think of me
Even if just for a moment
Shine on in reverie
Shine on him
Tell him, oh, tell him
I am here, waiting
Shine on in reverie
Shine on him
Tell him, oh, tell him
I am here, waiting
If a human soul should dream of me
May he still remember me on waking
Dear moon, oh, shine for him
Shine for him
Shine, oh, shine for him
