[Lyrics are an excerpt of "The Heaven Prolog" from Faust - Wolfgang von Goethe. In this masterpiece, these lines are said by Raphael archangel]



Die sonne toent nach alter weise

In brudersphaeren wettgesang

Und ihre vorgeschriebene reise

vollendet sie mit donnergang



[Translation 1:]

The sun sounds out in an old manner

In a fraternal vocal competition

And its prescribed course

Reaches a conclusion with a thunder



[Translation 2:]

The sun intones its ancient song

Mid rival chant of brother spheres

Its predestined course it speeds along

In thund?rous march throughout the years



[Translation 3:]

The sun intones, in ancient tourney

With brother-spheres, a rival song

Fulfilling its predestined journey

With march of thunder moves along



[Translation 4:]

The sun is chanting his ancient song

In contest with the brother spheres

Rolling with thunder steps along

Down the predestined course of years
