FAUN LYRICS

1. Lupercalia

Ipse Deus
Velox Discurrere
Gaudet
In Altis Montibus,
Et Subitas
Concipit
Ipse Fugas:

Ipse Deus Nudus
Nudos Iubet Ire Ministros;
Nec Satis
Ad Cursus
Commoda
Vestis
Erit.

2. Zeitsgeist

Das Rad dreht sich weiter
Doch alles bleibt stehn
Wir versuchen im Dunkeln
Das Licht zu verstehen
Hab keine Angst und
Fürchte nur was dich
Nicht versteht

Das Rad dreht sich weiter
Doch alles bleibt stehen
Wir schließen die Augen,
Als wenn wir nicht sehen
Die alte Welt versinkt
In einem Meer
Aus Ideen

Wohin wollten wir gehen
Wo sind wir nun
Zu tief geschlafen
Um weiter zu ruhn

Noch eines wollen wir
Wenn alles anders wird
Noch eines wollen wir
Uns wieder finden

3. Iduna

Dvelur í dölum
Dís forvitin
Yggdrasils frá
Aski Hnigin
Álfa ættar
Idunni hétu
Ívalds eldri
Yngsta barna

4. The Butterfly

[Instrumental]

5. Adam Lay Ybounden

Adam lay ybounden
Bounden in a bond;
Foure thousand witer,
Thought he not too long.

And all was for an apple,
An apple that he tok,
As clerkes finden
Wreten in here book.

Never had the apple,
The apple taken ben,
Ne hadde never our lady,
A ben Hevene Quen.

6. Hymn to Pan

Listen now, Great Pan he calls us
From the green wood in his grove
'neath the waxing moon above us
Hear his clear flute sweet and low
Hear his clear flute sweet and low

Follow in the dance he's leading
Circle 'round the fire's glow
Come and drink the wine he pours us
From the tangled vines that grow
From the tangled vines that grow
From the tangled vines that grow

Listen now and I shall follow
Listen now and I may follow

Listen now and I will follow

Out of the mid-wood's twilight
Into the meadow's dawn
Ivory limbed and brown eyed
Flashes the Faun

He skips through the copses singing
And his shadow dances along
And I know not which I should follow
Shadow or Song

O Hunter, snare me his shadow
O Nightingale, catch me his strain
Else moonstruck with music and madness
I track him in vain

7. Pearl

I saw her once and then no more
't was Edens Light on earth a while
She passed along the meadow floor
Spring seemed to smile
and then no more

Ah! What avail my magic lore?
She shone before mine eyes awhile
My peace is wrecked on Beauty's shore.
I saw her once and then no more

Oh might I see, her once again
Death would soon heal this heart
Now sad and sore, would beat anew
A while and then no more

8. Oyneng Yar

oyneng yar, oyneng yar

9. Polska Från Larsson

[Instrumental]

10. Alba

Letzte Nacht
Hab ich geträumt wir müssten fliehen,
Aus dieser viel zu großen Welt
Und ich kann mich nicht erinnern, ob wir entkamen.

Im Schnee sind deine Zeichen tief verborgen.
Aus Weidenruten flechten wir den Morgen,
Einer viel zu grossen Welt,
Denn alles was der Schnee umschlossen hält,
Bleibt darin verborgen.

Lauf nicht davon, ich kann den Morgen sehen.
Wir liefen weit, nun lassen wir den Winter ziehen.

Deine Treue wir noch viele Wunden heilen,
Deine Stimme finde ich in allen Zweigen,
In jedem Moos, in jedem Fels,
Einer viel zu grossen Welt.
Deine Stimme finde ich in allen Zweigen.

Lauf nicht davon, ich kann den Morgen sehen.
Wir liefen weit, nun lassen wir den Winter ziehen.

11. Ynis Avalach

[Instrumental]

12. Arcadia

Laske juoni juoksemahan,
Virka vippelehtämähän,
Kullaista kujoa myöten,
Hopiaista tietä myöten,
Jost`on sillat silkin pantu,
Sillat silkin, suot sametin,
Veralla vetalät paikat,
Pahat paikat palttinalla!

Metsän ukko halliparta,
Metsän kultainen kuningas,
Ava nyt aittasi avara,
Luinen lukko lonkahuta!

Ukko kultainen kunigas,
Hopiainen hallitsija,
Anna mulle ainojasi,
Kanna mulle kaunojasi,
Kullassa kulisevia,
Hopiassa helkkävia!

Aja vilja vieremille,
Aukeimmille ahoille,
Minun metsipäivinäni,
Erän etsiaikoinani!

13. The Market Song

On a fine evening fair in the month of april
Over the hill came the sun with a smile,
And the folks they were throngin' the roads everywhere,
Makin' haste to be in at the Copshawholme Fair.
I've seen 'em a-comin' from mountains and glens,
Those rosy-faced lasses and strappin' young men,
With a joy in their heart and unburdened o' care,
A-meetin' old friends at the Copshawholme Fair.

Whoever joined our gathering and danced
under the garlands green will never be the same again
Now rest your head and stay a while and dwell with us the summer's night
and you'll never be the same again

There are lads for the lasses, there's toys for the bairns,
Jugglers and tumblers and folks with no arms,
There's a ballad-singer here and a fiddler there,
Nut-men and spice-men at Copshawholme Fair.
There are peddlers and potters and gingerbread stands,
Peepshows and popping-darts and green caravans,
There's fruit from all nations exhibited there,
With kale plants from Orange at Copshawholme Fair.

Whoever joined our gathering and danced
under the garlands green will never be the same again
Now rest your head and stay a while and dwell with us the summer's night
and you'll never be the same again

You came a long way, you traveled for so long.
Now rest your head before the summer's gone,
Meet us in the sunny fields and meet us in the greenwood deep
And step in our faerie ring 'cause you'll never ever ever be the same again.

When the hiring is over, off they all sprang
Into the ballroom for to join in the throng,
And "I Never Will Lie With My Mammy Nae Mair"
The fiddles play briskly at Copshawholme Fair.

14. Golden Apples

Sleep bonnie barn
within the castle

Thou shalt have
a golden apple

...

Wait, until you take a look inside yourself -
Recognize, what is growing there.
Oh seeker,
A leaf in this garden,
Means more than all leaves
You will find in paradise!
