Lyrics

German

Vor diesem Wald der dritten Berge,
Einsam und allein steht ein Haus in der Leere.
Doch ohne Zeichen vor dem Wege
Darfst Du nicht hinein, so sagt Deine Seele

In diesem Haus, da lebt ein Manne,
Messerscharfe Augen und lange graue Haare,
Durch seine Macht ist er 'ne Sage,
In der tiefen Nacht kommt er Dir nahe.

Nein, lass mich nicht allein!
Hab' ich nicht das Recht, glücklich zu sein,
Oder muss ich wein'?
Ohne Dich fühle ich mich
Einsam und so verloren,
Geb' ich mich der dunklen Seite.

〇Siehst Du die Welt der großen Bäume?
　Hast Du gezählt die leeren Träume?
　Bist Du nur selt' voll Glück und Freude,
　Als wie ein Held der toten Leute?

〇repeat

Trotz seiner Kraft ist er so verloren,
In einem kleinen Haus vor dem Walde.

Hier in dem Wald wie ein kleines Nest,
So einsam und kalt, getrennt vom Rest.

English

Just outside the forest of the third mountain
a house stands lonely and alone in the emptiness.
But without a sign pointing the way
you can't go in, so says your soul

In this house, there is a man
with razor-sharp eyes and long gray hair,
With his power, he is a sage,
in the deep night he comes near you.

No, don't leave me alone!
Do I have the right to be happy,
or must I cry?
Without you I feel
lonely and so lost,
I give myself over to the dark side.

〇Can you see the world of big trees?
Did you count the empty dreams?
Are you only seldom filled with happiness and joy,
as something like a hero of the dead?
 
〇repeat

Despite his power, he is so lost
in a small house by the forest.

Here in the forest, like a little nest
so lonely and cold, separated from the rest.
