Brandan Lyrics in English by Faun
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Brandan by Faun from German to English.
Sag mir, sag mir, mac Lir
Tell me, tell me, mac Lir
Wohin weht der nächste Wind?
Where does the next wind blow?
An sieben Inseln band ich mein Boot
To seven islands I tied my boat
Und die Jahre fließen dahin
And the years flow by
Zeig mir, zeig mir, mac Lir
Show me, show me, mac Lir
Wo der Nebelvorhang fällt
Where the curtain of mist falls
In mir ruht ein silberner Zweig
In me rests a silver branch
Von den Bäumen der anderen Welt
From the trees of the other world
Wir setzen die Segel und treiben im Wind
We set the sails and drift in the wind
Jahrtausendfach über das Meer
For millennia over the sea
Von Sternen geleitet so fahr'n wir dahin
Guided by stars, so we journey on
Und jagen dem Glück hinterher
And chase after happiness
Glaub mir, glaub mir, mac Lir
Believe me, believe me, mac Lir
Wenn ich meine Lieder sing'
When I sing my songs
Dass ich die Fahrt zu Ende führ'
That I'll finish the journey
Und die Ungetüme bezwing'
And conquer the monsters
Sieh nur, sieh nur, mac Lir
Just look, just look, mac Lir
Nun steh' ich auf hehrem Land
Now I stand on sacred land
Doch kann ich nicht bleiben, der Kurs ist gesetzt
But I can't stay, the course is set
Und das Ruder fest in der Hand
And the rudder firmly in hand

Did you like this lyrics translation?
Ungetüme — Monsters / Beasts
Ungetüme translates to "monsters" or "beasts". It's a striking and somewhat archaic word that evokes images of mythical creatures and epic journeys.
In the context of "Brandan", a song inspired by the legendary voyage of Saint Brendan, the singer declares, "Und die Ungetüme bezwing'" (And I will conquer the monsters). This word perfectly captures the adventurous spirit and challenges faced on a perilous sea journey, making it both memorable and intriguing.
