Nephos - Rhenus Pater Lyrics

Where the Rhine with his green waves
Greets mossy castles, withered graves
That is where I want to be, with you oh father Rhine
Your shores is where my soul will shine

Green hills of grape, see natures grace
Hear mountains voice, see his old face
Fortresses of stone and oak,
Monasterys in foggy cloak

Father!
The lifeline of our kin
Your voice so bright and jubilant
Our native waters flowing deep within

(Es braust ein Ruf wie Donnerhall,
Wie Schwertgeklirr und Wogenprall:
Wer will des Stromes Hüter sein?
Getreu er Wacht: Gevatter Rhein)

Rhenus!
Pater!

I call Rhenus Pater, whose reign shall be forevermore
Oh mighty father of the golden river

And when the cycle ended, gold became amber
The father will renew, Rhenus will remember...

He will remember!

(When everything churns,disordered
And primeval chaos...Reappears eternally)
