Sonnenbarke [English translation]

The scene of events November grey, constant drizzling rain

Come with me

Higher than birds, the clouds, up to the highest spot

I've put on the crown of rays, corona1

Reflecting in it my shining head

You shall be my co-driver

standing in the airstream

In shimmering gold, clad in purple

It's through dangers that our way leads us, and through images of beasts

Come onto my solar bark!

Come onto my solar bark!

In the reddening east Aurora2 opens her rose gates

The stars are fleeing

The crescent3 of the moon is fading, starting at its edge

steep at the beginning is the course, in the morning

giddily high in the midst of the sky

abruptly the path inclines at the end

Come onto my solar bark!

Come onto my solar bark!

Darkness cast out

by raging flames

consuming embers

Everywhere the earth is tearing up

Even into the underworld through cracks light is leaking

causing fear and terror for the rulers

Come onto my solar bark!

Come onto my solar bark!

Come with me Come with me Come with me Come with me Come with me Come join me

Come with me Come with me Come with me Come with me Come with me Come join me

Come with me Come with me Come with me Come with me Come with me Come join me

Come with me Come with me Come with me Come with me Come with me Come join me

Come onto my solar bark!
