Der König in Thule [German ballade][+English translation]

- "Der König in Thule" ("The King in Thule") is a German poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, written in 1774.
Goethe wrote the poem "Geistesgruß" as a precursor of "Der König in Thule", while he was travelling to Lahneck Castle on the river Lahn in July 1774. Under Herder's influence, the setting was changed to the mythical island kingdom Thule, which was thought to be the northernmost place Greek seafarers ventured in antiquity.
Goethe used it later in his tragedy Faust (part I, lines 2759-82) as Gretchen's (Margaret) introduction. It has been set to music by a number of composers, notably Franz Schubert.

Es war ein König in Thule,
Gar treu bis an das Grab,
Dem sterbend seine Buhle
einen goldnen Becher gab.
Es ging ihm nichts darüber,
Er leert' ihn jeden Schmaus;
Die Augen gingen ihm über,
So oft er trank daraus.
Und als er kam zu sterben,
Zählt' er seine Städt' im Reich,
Gönnt' alles seinen Erben,
Den Becher nicht zugleich.
Er saß beim Königsmahle,
Die Ritter um ihn her,
Auf hohem Vätersaale,
Dort auf dem Schloß am Meer.
Dort stand der alte Zecher,
Trank letzte Lebensglut,
Und warf den heiligen Becher
Hinunter in die Flut.
Er sah ihn stürzen, trinken
Und sinken tief ins Meer,
die Augen täten ihm sinken,
Trank nie einen Tropfen mehr.

I think there's no language with more poetical power than the german language. It's because it can represent deep meanings with few words. And also, because the case system makes possible the inversion of the sentence order without disturbing the meaning, and so a german has a greater lexicon of poetical possibilites than any other language's poet. This poem by Goethe is just an additional prove of this.
True
it is indeed so. I once translated a Bob Dylan song a a school project and not only was it the best in class but it was called "better than the original" - and I did that within an hour
It´s Goehte even give Mozart a try! I do´n´t like Mozart as well but this is awesome. th-cam.com/video/36Y_ztEW1NE/w-d-xo.html. i love it and google why!
Faust, a masterpiece created by a universal genius, Goethe.
Nietzsche said of Goethe "the exceptional German for which music worthy of him has not yet been found!"
You should upload the final chorus of Mahler 8th Symphony, the closest thing to music worthy of Goethe.
Please Schwarzenberg, share your insight into historical aspects of Music, as much as time allows you ! Danke schoen !
I love this song, it sounds so magical
Yes, and it also has a feeling of deep sadness to it, the sadness of one whose love becomes lost in a magical dream.
We Germans are all over the globe, don‘t forget your roots. Greetings from the Dakotas!
Gott mit uns.
love my roots, and love this medi-æval music ! Stay strong and healthy. Grüße aus Ontario. : )

This is so beautiful... German language is so angelic. Thank you for translating!
it's so nice to hear this 😊 I mostly hear that German is ugly. once someone told me that " the Witcher" shouldn't have been dubbed in German because it's such an awful language and that Germans don't deserve such a great game. well. as a German it's nice to hear that there are people who actually like the language
@@finn9497 Really? This is awful :( I hear people saying that german sounds angry and all that, but to me it is truly an angelic language that I can listen to someone speak for hours... It's also a very fun language to learn! Speaking/hearing it is satisfying... somehow? Idk. There's something about german that is so calming

This claims coming from the Victors, and this is never the Truth.

What a sweet serenade. As relaxing ad it is, it seeps deeply into the memory keeping a ever watching eye on the forever more. Love the artwork as well!❤️❤️🌹👌👍👑
I’m just going to say hello and have a good day
Öfter gelesen --bei Goethe-- Mysteriös! Sehr schön und sanft gesungen!
ARE ANGELS SINGING THIS ? ICH LIEBE ES GREAT JOB LUDWIG !
The German language, with all its great literature and philosophy, is incredibly amazing and beautiful. Love and prosperity of real Catholic Germany! Greetings from Normandie
Goethe was a protestant :)
@@EJwc doesn't matter
@@Robespierre228it does.
sehr gut! Danke dr. Ludwig!
Ich hab das Lied das erste mal vor ein paar Tagen im Deutschunterricht gehört als wir Faust 1 behandelten
Echt schönes Lied
Ich bin jetzt nicht so ein "Kaiser-und-Vaterland" - Untertan. Dieses Lied hat eine Wahnsinns-Ausstrahlung, weniger wegen dem Vaterland, als wegen den verborgenen Elementen darin. Meine Lieblingsversion ist tatsächlich die der Leipziger Folk Session. th-cam.com/video/QN0IsG_4fNU/w-d-xo.html . Mentalität voll eingefangen, Höhen und Tiefen, Größenwahn, Liebeswahn, Kummer und Gram und das alles mit Alkohol.
This is just absolutely beautiful man
This video appeared to me today, and today my German language teacher died. I think it suited the occasion...
Rip for this fine teacher!
I had it today in music class and its the beautefullst song that i ever hear...
Greetings from Alaska! And from kin in Minnesota and Wisconsin!
My family came from Germany to Wisconsin during the Prussian times.
I just moved to Palmer-Wasilla area in Alaska.
@@edw2029 Ha! Welcome kinsman! My family came from Dresden and moved to Black River Falls Wisconsin before the Nazis rose to power.
The winters are too long! Spring and Autumn are near nonexistent! There's no shortage of thieves! And the animal you should be most afraid of around here is moose!
Other than that, the summers are wonderful and there's plenty to do. Alaska has some of the most beautiful scenery in the world and federal laws are more of a suggestion! I can't see myself leaving.
We've got more pot shops and liquor stores than we've got churches. If you're looking for a woman? Head to the Target Mall where the ratio is ten women to one man and they're already looking for stuff they don't need.
And no matter where you are in The Last Frontier, you'll find good honorable people. I hope you enjoy The State Fair and The Scottish Highland Games (if they're open this year).
@@konigeurichderwestgoten4460 Haha, thank you for the info!
It wouldn't surprise me if we crossed paths.
Dummer Yankee...
Welcome back, man!
Sometimes i think
Some songs are ILLEGAL to be THIS GOOD
Von Goethe was clearly Germany's answer to Shakespeare to be sure! LOL!
All cultures had great poets in their language :)
My beloved grandmother always sang this…
Nun, eine andere Version.
Diese gefällt mir noch besser.
Stattlicher, eher dem Deutschen entsprechend.
Danke.
Danke dir! :)
Sehr Gut Mein Brüderschaft und Danke Vielmals
Das könnte von einem Deutschen nicht besser gesungen werden. Ich glaube die Russen und die Deutschen haben ein ähnliches Gefühl für Melancholie in sich. Wenn ich russische Volksmusik höre, dann berührt mich das ähnlich wie unsere eigene.
It’s definitely one of the most beautiful ballads I’ve heard.
God helps us.
Best version
💗THANK YOU Dr. Ludwig! 🎼🎶🏰🗡🛡What a👑MAGNIFICENT &😔SAD "Der König in Thule "⚫⚪🔴 ballade and BEAUTIFUL Video! 👍👍❤❤❤🥀🌹🍃👌💎👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

That's another one on scouts bingo!
But in all seriousness, I really like this song, it's so artistic :')
Diese junge Dame ist genial. Das haben bisher wenige Leute begriffen.
Deutsch Leistungskurs incoming.
:) sehr schön
Wäre schön wenn du "O, du lieber Augustin" hochladen könntest. Würde gerade leider sehr gut zu unserer Situation passen!
Danke.... .
Greetings from Greece. Could you please tell me the artist who sings and what instrument he is using?
It's called "Lute guitar" in English or "German lute" (in German: "Laute" ), they used to pluck and play this string instrument. Regarding the artist i don't know, but you also find a nice version of the song "König von Thule" sung by a group named Faun. Xairetismous apo tin Elbetia
@@katom4234
Faun singing a lot of great medival german songs.
Gradevole
@dr.ludwig could you tell me the names of this singer and the other version you linked. It's so much easier on the ears than a lot of the one from the opera!
I dont know them sorry.
Muss ich bis morgen für Musik lernen 😅
Viel Erfolg!
Perhaps the golden goblet represents the soul or life force energy of the human being, drinking from the goblet represents the depletion of the life force through certain acts, leading to the death of the soul??
The realm itself has lost its soul. Nothing remains but what is of this earth.
Kommt zurück, unsere heimat geht unter.
Es war ein König in Thule,
Gibt es diese Version auch auf Apple Music?
Grüße euch aus Kiew! 🇺🇦
Which version is this one?
Composed by Carl Friedrich Zelter.
Does anyone know the singer?
Who is the musician performing this version?
Geilooo
Atlantis, Elysium, Shangri La
C'era in Tule un re che tenne
sino al cenere la fé.
La sua amante a morir venne
ed un nappo d'or gli diè.
Nulla caro ebbe mai tanto,
vi beveva (1) a mensa ognor
e in votarlo avea di pianto
gli occhi carichi (2) e d'amor.
Quand'eì pure venne a morte
numerò le sue città
all'erede le diè in sorte,
ma il nappo d'or non già.
Nella sala dell'avito
suo castello in riva al mar
fece a splendido convito
i baroni radunar.
Svanir vide la gioconda
vita il vecchio bevitor
ed infine giù nell'onda (3)
gettò il sacro nappo d'or.
Ir giù il vide e le tranquille
acque rompere e sparir
s'oscurar le sue pupille più
non bevve il vecchio sir
Could somebody explain me why the phrase "Es ging ihm nichts darüber" was translated by "Nothing was more precious to him"?
Nothing stands/ goes (in value) above it. That's what he means.
@@dr.ludwig yes, but thats more a word to word translation. I think "Nothing was more precious to him" is a good translation
Wo kann man denn die Musik dazu finden ?
Good metal cover of this by grailknights
Alle aus der 7b antworten😁😁😁
Leider etwas zäh gesungen.
