Opera Lyrica Act One
music	Scene Two: "Greeting Prelude" in D major Op.4

Fool	Here in the old capital of this nation Being prosperous during more than a millennium The tradititonal culture was in full blossom The hero was borne in this capital and grown up As a lyric poet of the traditional verses Having the long history of more than 1000 years His poem was beautiful in the form of tradition Being so young he had won the first place Having no darkness and in merry mind to sing

Trau	Borne here in the old capital of this nation In my childhood the rivers and mountains were beautiful Where we had run about all day long until sunset In spring cherry blossoms were in full bloom Anywhere along the rivers and in the mountains Birds fly in the sky and rest in the cherry trees In summer the capital was all in the green colour So hot in this season but in the shadow of green Cool wind had come from the north in the evening In autumn the whole mountains were in gold colour More beautiful than any other paintings ever drawn As if we were in the golden cosmos in the universe In winter the wind from the north was so cold The snow had fallen over the leaves on the ground Not much but thin coverage of the landscape of the capital Nature was alive in harmony with the mankind We had enjoyed our life so comfortable to live Here in our capital we had been most happy everday

Trau	My poem always sings a song of nature Birds flying in the blue sky Flowers are in full bloosoms in the field The full moon is over the mountains in the east The wind blows through the fields and towns And butterflies come around flowers to take honey My poem always sings a song of nature With the merry melodies to play lyra In the pure sprit having no darkness

Trau	When I had been the champion of poetry I had married a princess of the Royal Family She was beautiful and became mother of a child My boy named "Kind" had been grown up in peace He began to learn lyra in the age of four When any genius people would begin to learn We were so happy like as in a fairy tale Being the symbol of happiness of our nation And we were very proud to rule in prosperity

Trau	The age of progress had continued long During the last century so constantly Without any disorders in economy and politics The GNP was always in the top of the world Our nation had been the leader of progress Science had also made an unblievable growth We had nothing to want anymore No word of defficiency in our dictionary We had not doubted the eternal prosperity Long live the King Long live the Happiness Long live the Peace
