Barcarole op. 44, 3 by Johannes Brahms — Lyrics
O Fischer auf den Fluten, Fidelin! komm schnell zu fischen her!
Und auf seinem schmucken Kahne rudert er. Fidelin linla.
Was willst du, daß ich fische? Fidelin! Mein Ringlein fiel ins Meer.
Und auf seinem schmucken Kahne rudert er. Fidelin linla.
Dir lohnt die schönste Börse, Fidelin! von hundert Talern schwer.

About Barcarole op. 44, 3
Johannes Brahms’s Barcarole op. 44, no. 3 is a charming secular part-song for mixed choir. The German text tells a playful story of a fisherman lured from his boat by a maiden who has lost her ring in the sea. The fisherman initially refuses payment of a purse of a hundred talers, but readily agrees when the maiden offers a kiss as her reward. The music captures the gentle rocking motion of the waves and the lighthearted exchange between the characters, making it a delightful piece for a spring or summer concert.
