Sonnenbarke [English translation]
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!
