On the Saale bright beach
.jpg)
An der Saale hellem Strande is a German folk song that was written in 1826 by Franz Kugler at the Rudelsburg . Kugler used the melody (op. 27 No. 1) by Friedrich Ernst Fesca , which he originally wrote in 1822 for Friedrich ("painter") Müller's text Soldiers' Farewell ( Today I part, tomorrow I wander ).
In addition to the Rudelsburg itself, reference is made here primarily to the area around Halle (Saale) , one of the castles mentioned in the first stanza is Giebichenstein Castle , another is Moritzburg .
Text (1830)
On the Saale bright beach,
castles stand proud and bold.
Their roofs have fallen,
and the wind is blowing through the halls,
clouds are moving over them.
It is true that the knights have disappeared, the
spear and shield never sound;
But to the hiker,
shapes
often appear delicate and mild in the old mossy stones .
Up there, lovely eyes waving,
many a red mouth laughed in a friendly manner.
Wanderer gazes into the distance,
gazes at the stars in lovely eyes,
heart is cheerful and healthy.
And the wanderer moves away,
For the hour of separation calls;
And he sings farewell songs,
farewell sounds to him,
towels waft in the air.
Variations
The following stanza is also common among students.
And the wanderer has to be
banished from there by the brothers
and he sings farewell songs . He
goes home, does not return
to the cool beach of the Rhine.
There is also a text version on the Rhine: On the Rhine's bright beach .
