Wessebronner Gebet Lyrics in English by In Extremo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Wessebronner Gebet by In Extremo from German to English.
Dat ero ni uas
There was no earth
No üf himli
Nor in heaven
Noh Paum noh Pereg
Nor tree nor mountain
Ni unas
There was not
Ni noh heinig no sunna
Nor holy nor sun
Ni scein
Nor light
No mano ni Lintha
Nor moon nor sea
No der Märeo
Nor the borders
We himli enti erda enti du
But heaven and earth and you
Forgip mir in dino genada
Forgive me in your grace
Spähida enti craft tiuflun za
Wisdom and strength against devils
Unida Stanna enti arc za
Protection, steadfastness, and against evil

Forgip — Forgive

Forgip is an Old High German word meaning "forgive." It's a fascinating and rare word that immediately stands out because it's an archaic form of the modern German "vergeben."

In the context of the "Wessebronner Gebet," an ancient prayer, this word is central to the plea for divine mercy. It offers a glimpse into the historical roots of the German language and the spiritual depth of the song, making it both educational and intriguing.
