Lange Schatten Lyrics in English by Faun
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lange Schatten by Faun from German to English.
Sie entsteigt der Morgenkühle
She rises from the morning chill
Trägt das helle Licht empor
Carries the bright light aloft
Hüllt das Land in Nebelschwüle
Envelops the land in misty haze
Vogelsang dringt an mein Ohr
Birdsong reaches my ear
Als die Schleier sich entwirren
As the veils unravel
Leuchtet mir der grüne Wald
The green forest lights up for me
Und von Ferne sieht man's flirren
And from afar one sees it shimmer
Wenn die Sonne hoch erstrahlt
When the sun shines brightly
Doch dann kehrt sie sich zur Wende
But then she turns to the change
Reicht mir ihre warme Hand
Offers me her warm hand
Denn es ziehen aus der Fremde
For from afar there draw
Lange Schatten übers Land
Long shadows over the land
Lässt sie ihre Speere sinken
She lets her spears fall
Und ihr scharfer Blick wird weich
And her sharp gaze becomes soft
Dann begehrt aus allen Winkeln
Then from all corners rises
Auf der Wölfe Schattenreich
The shadow realm of the wolves
Kann ich sie zum Bleiben bitten
Can I ask her to stay
Wenn die lange Nacht beginnt
When the long night begins
Und der Winter seine Schritte
And winter its steps
Schon in unsre Richtung lenkt
Already directs in our direction

Schattenreich — realm of shadows
Schattenreich literally translates to "realm of shadows" or "shadow kingdom." It's a compound word that evokes a sense of mystery, darkness, and perhaps even a mythical or otherworldly place.
In the context of "Lange Schatten," the word appears as "Auf der Wölfe Schattenreich" (In the wolves' realm of shadows). This phrase paints a vivid picture of a wild, untamed place where wolves roam, suggesting a return to a more primal or hidden aspect of nature as the long shadows fall. It's a captivating and somewhat rare word that adds a deep, almost folkloric dimension to the lyrics.
