Golden Apples Lyrics in English by Faun
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Golden Apples by Faun from German to English.
I went out to the hazelwood
I went out to the hazelwood
Because a fire was in my head
Because a fire was in my head
Cut and peeled a hazel wand
Cut and peeled a hazel wand
And hooked a berry to a thread
And hooked a berry to a thread
And when white moths were on the wing
And when white moths were on the wing
And moth-like stars were flickering out
And moth-like stars were flickering out
I dropped the berry in a stream
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout
And caught a little silver trout
When I had laid it on the ground
When I had laid it on the ground
And gone to blow the fire aflame
And gone to blow the fire aflame
Something rustled on the floor
Something rustled on the floor
And someone called me by my name
And someone called me by my name
It had become a glimmering girl
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
Who called me by my name and ran
And vanished in the brightening air
And vanished in the brightening air
Though I am old with wandering
Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands
Through hollow lands and hilly lands
I will find out where she has gone
I will find out where she has gone
And see her lips and take her hand
And see her lips and take her hand
And walk through long green dappled grass
And walk through long green dappled grass
And pluck till time and times are done
And pluck till time and times are done
The silver apples of the moon
The silver apples of the moon
The golden apples of the sun
The golden apples of the sun

Apfelblüten — apple blossoms
Apfelblüten translates directly to "apple blossoms". It's a beautiful and evocative compound word that paints a vivid picture of nature and new beginnings.
In the song, it's used to describe the hair of a "glimmering girl" who appears to the narrator. This imagery connects the mysterious girl to nature, youth, and perhaps a touch of magic, making the word both enchanting and central to the song's mystical atmosphere.
