Sonnenreigen (Lughnasad) Lyrics in English by Faun
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sonnenreigen (Lughnasad) by Faun from German to English.
In der goldnen Morgenstund
In the golden morning hour
Ziehen wir aus des Tales Grund
We leave the valley's floor
Und wir tanzen froh hinein
And we dance happily into
In den frühen Sonnenschein
The early sunshine
Hoch hinauf auf Bergeshöhen
High up onto mountain heights
Um ins Auge Lughs zu sehen
To look into Lugh's eye
Lasst uns feiern diese Zeit
Let us celebrate this time
Die der Sommer hält bereit
That summer has in store
Du lässt deine Raben ziehen
You let your ravens fly
In die Felder golden stehen
Into the fields standing golden
Und das helle lichte Rad
And the bright, luminous wheel
Dreht sich über Lughnasad
Turns above Lughnasadh
Es war nun ein ganzes Jahr
It's been a whole year now
Seit ich dich beim Tanze sah
Since I saw you dancing
Allzu oft in langer Nacht
Too often in the long night
Habe ich an dich gedacht
I've thought of you
König Sommer führt den Tanz
King Summer leads the dance
Dem ich folg im Blütenkranz
Whom I follow in a floral wreath
Und so dreht sich unser Kreis
And so our circle turns
In der alltbekannten Weis'
In the well-known way
Du lässt deine Raben ziehen
You let your ravens fly
In die Felder golden stehen
Into the fields standing golden
Und das helle lichte Rad
And the bright, luminous wheel
Dreht sich über Lughnasad
Turns above Lughnasadh
Bald schon wird das Rad sich drehen
Soon the wheel will turn
Werden wilde Stürme wehen
Wild storms will blow
Mit Rauhgesang der Winter nahen
With a harsh song, winter approaches
So fängt der Kreis von vorne an
So the circle starts again
Kommt und folgt uns in dem Reigen
Come and follow us in the round dance
Wollen den großen Kreis beschreiben
We want to complete the great circle
Wenn die Felder golden stehen
When the fields stand golden
Werden wir uns wiedersehen
We will see each other again
Du lässt deine Raben ziehen
You let your ravens fly
In die Felder golden stehen
Into the fields standing golden
Und das helle lichte Rad
And the bright, luminous wheel
Dreht sich über Lughnasad
Turns above Lughnasadh

Sonnenreigen — Sun Dance / Sun Round Dance
Sonnenreigen is a compound word combining "Sonne" (sun) and "Reigen" (round dance or circle dance). It evokes a vivid image of people dancing in a circle, celebrating the sun.
In the context of the song, which is titled "Sonnenreigen (Lughnasad)" and references the Celtic festival of Lughnasad, it signifies a ritualistic and joyful dance in honor of the sun and the harvest. It's a unique and evocative word that immediately sets a festive and ancient tone.
