Schiller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
wenn er zu Ende geht,
ist nichts mehr, wie es war...
Un bel dì, vedremo
levarsi un fil di fumo
sull'estremo confin del mare.
Un bel dì, vedremo
levarsi un fil di fumo
sull'estremo confin del mare.
E poi la nave appare.
The opening lyrics of Schiller's "A Beautiful Day" follow a reflective and melancholic tone, hinting at the fleeting nature of time and how things can change in an instant. The line "when it comes to an end, nothing is as it was" carries the weight of impermanence, reminding listeners to appreciate the present moment while it lasts. These lyrics set the stage for the song's exploration of the ebb and flow of life and the importance of embracing the beauty in every day.
The following lines, in Italian, are from the aria "Un bel dì vedremo" from Giacomo Puccini's opera Madama Butterfly. Schiller seamlessly blends the two works, creating a fusion of classical and electronic music that evokes a sense of timelessness. The lyrics talk about seeing smoke rising from the distant horizon, signaling the arrival of a ship. This symbolizes the hope of a new beginning, the possibility of change and growth, and the triumph of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
Overall, Schiller's "A Beautiful Day" invites listeners to contemplate the beauty and fragility of life, encouraging them to live in the moment and cherish every experience.

Ein schöner Tag
A day that is enjoyed and appreciated
wenn er zu Ende geht,
When the day comes to an end
ist nichts mehr, wie es war...
Everything changes and nothing remains the same
Un bel dì, vedremo
One beautiful day, we will see
levarsi un fil di fumo
Smoke rising
sull'estremo confin del mare.
On the far edge of the sea
E poi la nave appare.
And then the ship appears
Un bel dì, vedremo
One beautiful day, we will see
levarsi un fil di fumo
Smoke rising
sull'estremo confin del mare.
On the far edge of the sea
E poi la nave appare.
And then the ship appears

A beautiful day.
Once it ends,
nothing remains the way it was.
Un bel di, vedremo
Levarsi un fil di fumo
Sull'estremo con fin del mare
E poi la nave appare
Un bel di, vedremo
Levarsi un fil di fumo
Sull'estremo con fin del mare
E poi la nave appare

(ENGLISH:
A beautiful day
Once it ends,
Nothing remains the way it was...)
Un bel dì, vedremo
Levarsi un fil di fumo
Sull'estremo confin del mare.
E poi la nave appare.
Un bel dì, vedremo
Levarsi un fil di fumo
Sull'estremo confin del mare.
E poi la nave appare.
(ENGLISH:
One fine day, we'll see
A wisp of smoke
On the extreme border of the sea
And then the ship appears)
