Sonnenreigen (Lughnasad)

In the golden morning hour
We depart from the valley floor
And we dance joyfully
Into the early sunshine
High up on the mountain heights
To catch a glimpse of Lugh's eye
Let's celebrate this time
That summer holds in store

You let your ravens fly
When the fields are golden standing
And the bright wheel of light
Spins over Lughnasad

It's been a whole year now
Since I saw you at the dance
Too often in the long night
I've thought of you
King Summer leads the dance
Which I follow in a wreath of blossoms
And so our circle spins
In the well-known way

You let your ravens fly
When the fields are golden standing
And the bright wheel of light
Spins over Lughnasad

Soon the wheel will turn
Wild storms will sweep
With the roar of winter approaching
So the circle begins anew
Come and join us in the dance
We want to tread the great circle
When the fields are golden standing
We will meet again

You let your ravens fly
When the fields are golden standing
And the bright wheel of light
Spins over Lughnasad
