Das Schloss am Meer [English translation]

Have you seen the castle,

The high castle at the sea?

Golden and rosy,

The fog blows over it.

Indeed, I have seen it

The high castle at the sea

And the moon standing above it

And the fog around it

The wind and the sea's waves

Do they make fresh sounds?

Did you hear, from high halls

Strings and festive singing?

The winds and the surges all

Were lying in deep silence

I listend to a lament from the hall

With tears in my eyes.

Did you see him standing

The King and his consort?

Their red coats are blowing,

The golden crowns ray?

Didn't they guard with delight

A pretty virgin here

Shining like a sun

Shining with golden hair?

Indeed, I saw both parents

Without their crown's light

In black mourning dresses

I didn't see the virgin.
