Mahler 2

O glaube, mein Herz, o glaube:

Es geht dir nichts verloren!

Dein ist, ja dein, was du gesehnt!

Dein, was du geliebt,

Was du gestritten!

O glaube

Du wardst nicht umsonst geboren!

Hast nicht umsonst gelebt, gelitten!

Was entstanden ist

Das muß vergehen!

Was vergangen, auferstehen!

Hör' auf zu beben!

Bereite dich zu leben!

~~~~ o ~~~~

O believe, my heart, O believe:

Nothing to you is lost!

Yours is, yes yours, is what you desired

Yours, what you have loved

What you have fought for!

O believe,

You were not born for nothing!

Have not for nothing, lived, suffered!

What was created

Must perish,

What perished, rise again!

Cease from trembling!

Prepare yourself to live!

German text and English translations of the "lyrics" from Mahler's Symphony No.2 Fifth Movement (taken from wikipedia). I find it to be such a great mugging anthem for the exams. I am not too confident for the physics exams today, but I'll let it pass. Other exams are more important!

On a side note, the dinner today was awesome. In a sense that they are not cheap. Crayfish and steak don't come to your dinner plates often!
