Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Epitaph To A Friend by Saltatio Mortis from German to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
An honest man here lies at rest
An honest man here reads at rest
As e'er god with his image blest
As e'er god with his image blest
The friend of man, the friend of truth
The friend of man, the friend of truth
The friend of age, and the guide of youth
The friend of age, and the guide of youth
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm'd
Few hearts like his, with virtual warm'd
Few heads with knowledge so inform'd
Few heads with knowledge so inform'd
If there's another world, he lives in bliss
If there's another world, he lives in bliss
If there is none, he made the best of this
If there is none, he made the best of this
We shared a dream, we laughed and cried
We shared a dream, we laughed and cried
We've been through darkness, walked in light
We've been through darkness, walked in light
He had a brother's fearless mind
He had a brother's fearless mind
When others left he stood with pride
When others left he stood with pride
Let's raise the glass, put pain aside
Let's raise the glass, put pain aside
Drink up, til' all the tears have dried
Drink up, til' all the tears have dried
A joyful heart should beat within your chest
A joyful heart should beat within your chest
Until the day it goes to rest
Until the day it goes to rest
Let's raise the glass, put pain aside
Let's raise the glass, put pain aside
Drink up, til' all the tears have dried
Drink up, til' all the tears have dried
A joyful heart should beat within your chest
A joyful heart should beat within your chest
Until the day it goes to rest
Until the day it goes to rest
Until the day we all will go to rest
Until the day we all will go to rest
