10. Est Carmen... | Lyrics


Coronatus - Est Carmen...

 

Quis carmen mente finxerit? Non mente fingitur!

Ut lux ex nube profluit, ex corde nascitur

Est carmen lamentatio et est supplicium

Est carmen jubilation dat mundo basium

 

Un carmen risus allicit

Quid nos parvi mollior

Quis carmen mente finxerit?

Est carmen verum ipsum cor!

 

Est carmen compar sideri, quod noctem separat

Est ompar salutari vi, quae morbum propulsat

Est carmen derelicti vox, est sangui Domini

Quem angis, o perdura nox, o nox Gethsemani!

Coronatus - Est Carmen...

 

Who has ever thought up a song?

A song is not thinkable:

It is as if a warm ray

breaks through clouds.

 

A song, that is a cry of pain,   

A song is a prayer

An echo of supreme bliss,

A kiss, blown into space.

 

A song is a heavenly smile, that

Floats around a child’s lips,

Who has ever thought up a song?

A song has to be experienced!

 

As if after the dark night it would be

All of a sudden the bright day,

As if a sudden fatal illness

Cured at one fell swoop.

 

It is a song a cry for help

The holy blood that emanates in the night

Of a fighter in Gethsemane

Who watches alone.
