| FrancisNobleman said: Pablo de Sarasate - Zigeunerweisen in my arse´ Anyone speaks german in here? What does zigeunerweisen means ? |
Well I am german and I had trouble to make sense of it. Wikipedia lists as translation "Gypsy Airs" but this is not literal. You can pretty much translate it two ways. "Zigeuner" means gypsy but "weisen" can mean two things.
1. "weise" as in "wise man/woman" would mean Zigeunerweisen = Gypsy wise men/women
2. "weise" as in "auf meine weise" which means "my way", so Zigeunerweisen = the gypsy ways
(3.) maybe it's a grammatical error and it should read Zigeunerwaisen, then it would mean gypsy orphans ^^
Since the composition is based on roma songs and tradition I would say the second translation is right.
Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.
