The Song

Does anyone know the name of the song that Veronika was singing when she died..? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.136.115.226 (talk) 08:12, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

The ever hauntingly beautiful song Weronika was singing before was collapsing and died was an interpretation of the excerpt of Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy" (Paradiso-Canto II):

"O voi che siete in piccioletta barca, desiderosi d'ascoltar, seguiti dietro al mio legno che cantando varca, (3)

tornate a riveder li vostri liti: non vi mettete in pelago, ché forse, perdendo me, rimarreste smarriti. (6)

L'acqua ch'io prendo già mai non si corse; Minerva spira, e conducemi Appollo, e nove Muse mi dimostran l'Orse. (9)

  "O Ye, who in some pretty little boat,
  Eager to listen, have been following
  Behind my ship, that singing sails along, 
  Turn back to look again upon your shores,
  Do not put out to sea, lest peradventure,
  In losing me, you might yourselves be lost. 
  The sea I sail has never yet been passed,
  Minerva breathes, and pilots me Apollo,
  And Muses nine point out to me the Bears." 

(Translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow )

The Music is composed by Zbigniew Preisner under the pseudonym "Van den Budenmayer". Preisner said "Van den Budenmayer" is a pseudonym he and director Krzysztof Kieślowski invented "because we both loved the Netherlands". Music "by" the Dutch composer plays a role in three Kieślowski films.
