सर्दियां:विवाल्दी

ऐन्तिनियो विवाल्दी की मौसम सीरीज़ का अन्तिम भाग:




To tremble from cold in the icy snow,
In the harsh breath of a horrid wind;
To run, stamping one's feet every moment,
Our teeth chattering in the extreme cold

Before the fire to pass peaceful,
Contented days while the rain outside pours down.

We tread the icy path slowly and cautiously, for fear of tripping and falling.
Then turn abruptly, slip, crash on the ground and, rising, hasten on across the ice lest it cracks up.
We feel the chill north winds course through the home despite the locked and bolted doors...
this is winter, which nonetheless brings its own delights.

Nice!
Even though here in NJ,we are into the nice and crisp weather of fall season,listening to Vivaldi somehow reminded me of Spring from his four seasons.

Ashokji,
I am reading Kabadkhana entries backwards and just saw you have posted spring already. It definitely has a certain energy. A few years ago my son had learned to play this on piano.
Thanks.

Dear Didi,

All the four concertos are there!

For last four days I have been posting them. I have translated the spring and summer version into hindi as well.

Regards
