Faun "König von Thule" lyrics

König von Thule

Es war ein König in Thule,Gar treu bis an sein Grab,Dem sterbend seine BuhleEinen goldnen Becher gab.Es ging ihm nichts darüber,Er leert ihn jeden Schmaus;Die Augen gingen ihm rüber,So oft er trank daraus.

Und als er kam zu sterben,Zählt er seine Städt im Reich,Gönnt alles seinen Erben,Den Becher nicht zugleich.

Er saß beim Königsmahle,Die Ritter um ihn her,Im hohem VätersaaleDort auf dem Schloß am Meer.

Dort stand der alte Zecher,Trank letzte Lebensglut,Und warf den heil'gen BecherHinunter in die Flut.

Er sah ihn stürzen, trinken,Und sinken in das Meer,Die Augen täten ihm sinken,Trank nie einen Tropfen mehr.

The King of Thule

There was a King in Thule,Faithful to his graveOn her deathbed, his beloved,gave him a golden goblet.It was the most precious thing for himhe drank from it during his every meal,his eyes would start to tearso often he drank from it.

When the time came for him to die,he counted all his wealthgave everything to his heir, except for the goblet.

He was sitting at the royal banquetwith all his knight gathered around,in his forefathers grand hallin the castle by the sea.

There he was standing the old drunkdrinking the last life's glowhe threw the holy gobletdown into the sea

He saw it fall, drink and sink into the sea.His eyes started to closeand he never drank a drop anymore.
