Driving the other day I heard the end of this song, immediately recognized Streisand’s voice. “Classical Barbra” was recorded in 1973 and released in February 1976. The album consists of songs by classical European composers and includes tracks sung in English, French, Occitan, German, Italian and Latin. It amazes me when artists are so moved by a piece of music that they learn how to sing it in a foreign language. It takes great dedication, talent, and passion to perform masterworks in their native language so flawlessly.

Verschwiegene Liebe (Secret Love)
Über Wipfel und Saaten
In den Glanz hinein –
Wer mag sie erraten,
Wer holte sie ein?
Gedanken sich wiegen,
Die Nacht ist verschwiegen,
Gedanken sind frei.
Errat’ es nur eine,
Wer an sie gedacht
Beim Rauschen der Haine,
Wenn niemand mehr wacht
Als die Wolken, die fliegen –
Mein Lieb’ is verschwiegen
Und schön wie die Nacht.

About tops and seeds
Set in the splendor into it –
Who may guess,
Who came up with them?
Thoughts sway,
The night is silent,
Thoughts are free.
Errat ‘there is only one,
Who thought of them
At the sound of the trees,
If no one watches
As the clouds that fly –
My love ‘is concealed
And beautiful as the night.
