Translation of the song Seven Tears are Flowing to the River artist Nargaroth

Seven Tears are flowing to the river

Seven Tears are flowing to the river

And six of 'em are mine:

And six of 'em are mine:

Und ich kostete den fremden Saft,

And I taste the foreign liquid

Der sich mit meinigem vermengte,

That mixes up with mine

Um zu deuten in ihm jene Kraft,

To read in it of the strength

Die an so viele ich verschenkte.

That I gave away to so many

Und Freud war er in meinem Mund

And joy it was in my mouth

Und ich stürzt' in tiefe See

And I fell into a deep ocean

Und es schmerzt die alte Wunde,

And the old wound hurts again

Die geifernd lacht in all dem Weh'.

Droolingly it laughs within all the sorrow

Doch als die Flut seinen Leichnam barg,

But when the flood recovered his corpse

Nachdem er Trän' verlor, sechs an der Zahl,

After he had lost six tears

Das Wasser ward zu seinem Sarg,

The water became his coffin

Eine Sieb'te sich ergoß, ... aus Qual.

A seventh tear fell ... out of agony

Und als der Fluß die Trän' geleitet,

And when the river lead the tear

Hin zu ew'gen Meer,

To the eternal ocean

Ward ihm endlich Lieb' bereitet.

He finally was loved

Doch das er weiß wohl nimmer mehr.

But for sure he doesn't know that anymore

Und könnt die Zeit verkehrt nun fließen

And if time could be turned back

Und sei nur Traum der ganze Schmerz,

And all the pain was just a dream

Wird er um sie die Arme schließen

He'll put his arms around her

Und Liebe sei um beider Herz

And love would be in both of their hearts
