Am heiligen Hain [English translation]

The sun doesn't say

Only shining steady in the face.

Glowing hot, her bright light

Burns her poem in the ground.

And the sun doesn't say

It stings in her frozen heart.

Her light breaks deep in her heart

Reflected in every spray.

The light so warm in this place

Don't speak a single word to you

It lies quietly on the mountain and fjord

And in the evening it flies away.

Where the ash trees bloom

A place like eternity

The soil, still so untouched,

At the border between space and time.

Refrain:

In the sacred grove

In front of the eternal shrine

Death and life have long been united,

Where the sun always shines

The power that resides in it

Breath after breath.

In the last green place on earth,

I want to die there.

Even the moonlight doesn't say

It shines softly on my face

It gently strokes the firmament,

Through clouds like parchment.

The wind on my skin is rough,

Black air pent up

The atmosphere made human

In the heart of a hundred.

Where the ash trees bloom

A place like eternity

The soil, still so untouched,

At the border between space and time.

[Refrain] (2x)
