Текст песни 17 Richard Wagner - Akt 1 - Was Euch zum Liede Richt und Schnur

Cotner
 (Making the sign of the disciples and referring to Walter)
To get to the Peña firmly hold the thread,
Our laws need to let you know!

Students taking off from the wall board "Leges Tabulaturae", keep it in front of Cotner; He reads the & lt;. .em & gt;

Cotner
 "Togo should only call the master,
who can create a song correctly
 from different bars symmetrical,
legitimate and normal.
Each bar merged two verses -
they alone shall be sung melody;
in verse poems need to knit
 and rhyme every verse ending.
Verse after the chorus goes
 and rhymes in his turn to;
melody here is not the same,
that was taken in the two verses.
From these bars make up the song,
that song is considered the master;
who sing this song again
 and will take only four syllables -
not more - from foreign poems,
he will be accepted into the workshop masters. " -
(He gives the board the students; they again hung it on the wall.)
Now, sit down on a chair singers!

Walter
 (With a slight shudder)
... Here I sit?

Cotner
 The custom of ours!

Walter rises on the rise and with displeasure sits on a chair.

Walter
 (to the side)
Ready, darling, for you!

Cotner
 (very loud)
Singer sitting!

Bekmesser
 (Invisible in the label, very sharp)
"Begin!"
