Translation of the song Requiem 08 - Hymnus Heaven artist ASP

Ich stehe und staune

I stand and wonder

Geh wie träumend einher

Move as if dreaming

Und ein Sonnenstrahl bricht durch

And a sunbeam breaks through

Das Sturmwolkenmeer

The sea of storm-clouds

Und die Vögel im Baume

And the birds in the tree

Singen mir ihr Konzert

Sing me their concert

Bin von Freude durchströmt

I am filled with joy

Die die Ewigkeit währt

Which endures forever

And I see whatever I saw before wasn’t real

And I see whatever I saw before wasn’t real

This must be heaven

This must be heaven

Whatever I sought is now revealed

Whatever I sought is now revealed

This must be heaven

This must be heaven

Und ein Engel tritt zu mir

And an angel comes to me

Seine Flügel schneeweiß

His wings snow-white

Seine Stimme so sanft und

His voice so gentle and

Er flüstert ganz leis

He whispers softly

Und er nimmt meine Hand und spricht

And he takes my hand, saying,

„Fürchte dich nicht!“

Be not afraid!

So kühl seine Finger

So cool his fingers

Und er führt mich ins Licht

And he leads me into the light

And I see whatever I saw before wasn’t real

And I see whatever I saw before wasn’t real

This must be heaven

This must be heaven

Whatever I sought is now revealed

Whatever I sought is now revealed

This must be heaven

This must be heaven

Whatever I saw before wasn’t real

Whatever I saw before wasn’t real

This must be heaven

This must be heaven

Whatever I sought is now revealed

Whatever I sought is now revealed

This must be real

This must be real
