Anoche by Barbara Rosen — Lyrics
Anoche cuando dormía
soñé ¡bendita ilusión!
que una fontana fluía
dentro de mi corazón.
Dí: ¿por qué acequia escondita,
agua, vienes hasta mí,
manantial de nueva vida
en donde nunca bebí?
Anoche cuando dormía
soñé ¡bendita ilusión!
que una colmena tenía
dentro de mi corazón;
y las doradas abejas
iban fabricando en él,
con las amarguras viejas

About Anoche
Barbara Rosen's Anoche is a captivating art song for two-part (AT) voices, set in Spanish. The text explores a series of vivid dreams, each revealing a profound inner experience. Initially, the singer dreams of a flowing fountain within their heart, symbolizing a hidden source of life. This is followed by a dream of a beehive, where old sorrows are transformed into sweet honey, representing emotional alchemy. The third dream presents a radiant sun in the heart, a source of warmth and light that also brings tears. Finally, the singer realizes that what resides within their heart is, in fact, God. The song invites reflection on profound spiritual and emotional themes through evocative imagery and intimate expression.
