Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Wainamoinen by Faun from German to English.
Verse 1
Als Wainamonien spielte
When Wainamoinen played
Wurde Spiel zu Spiele
Play turned to play
Freude sich zu Freude stimmte
Joy tuned to joy
Tiere kamen vielen
Many animals came
Chorus 1
Wenn Gesang erklingt
When the song rings out
Und dies Lied beginnt
And this song begins
Sing ich silber, sing ich golden
I sing silver, I sing golden
Wunderlich Dinge
Wondrous things
Verse 2
Der Bär stieg auf dem Tale
The bear rose from the valley
Es war kein Tier im Hain
There was no beast in the grove
Das den Weg nicht scheute
That didn't fear the path
Um der Harfe nah zu sein
To be near the harp
Verse 3
Sing ich einen Vogel
I sing a bird
Und wenn dieser singt
And when this one sings
Regnets Gold und regnets Silber
It rains gold and it rains silver
Sein Gesang beginnt
His song begins
Verse 4
Aus Wainamoinens Augen
From Wainamoinen's eyes
Drange klare Tränen
Clear tears welled
Groß wie Birkenblätter
Large as birch leaves
Voller Hoffnung, voller Sehnen
Full of hope, full of longing
Chorus 2
Wenn Gesang erklingt
When the song rings out
Und dies Lied beginnt
And this song begins
Sing ich silber, sing ich golden
I sing silver, I sing golden
Wunderliche Dinge
Wondrous things
