Yesterday's world is a dream
Like a river that runs through my mind
Made of fields and the white pebble stream
That I knew as a child
Butterfly wings in the sun
Taught me all that I needed to see
For they sang, sang to my heart
"Oh look at me, oh look at me"
"Free as the wind, free as the wind"
"That is the way you should be"
Love was the dream of my life
And I gave it the best I know how
So it always brings tears to my eyes
When I think of it now
Gone like the butterfly days
And the boy that I once used to be
But my heart still hears a voice
Tellin' me "look, look and you'll see"
"Free as the wind, free as the wind"
"That is the way you should be"
There's no regret that I feel
For the bittersweet taste of it all
If you love, there's a chance you may fly
If you fall, well you fall
Rather the butterfly's life
To have lived for a day and been free
For my heart still hears that voice
Tellin' me "look and you'll see"
"Free as the wind, free as the wind"
"That is the way you should be"
"Free as the wind, free as the wind"
"That is the way you should be"
Engelbert Humperdinck (1854-1921) was a German composer best known for his opera Hansel und Gretel, one of the most popular operas in the operatic repertoire. Born in Bonn, Humperdinck studied music at the Berlin Conservatory. His musical career began as an organist and singing teacher. In 1886 he debuted with the opera The Prince of Homburg. Hansel und Gretel, composed in 1893, was an immediate success and established him as one of the most important composers of his time. The opera is characterized by a sweet and melancholic melody that evokes the magical and mysterious atmosphere of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale. Besides Hansel und Gretel, Humperdinck composed other operas, including The King in the Labyrinth and The Princess of the Castle. His compositions are characterized by a romantic and lyrical atmosphere, with a strong influence of the German musical tradition.
