First Autumn Days

Surrender In Dance

3:41

Lyrics by: Linda Laukamp

I’m lost in the openness
Cannot find the way to go
So for now I will dance
Where I am
There’s no aim, no destination
I sing and dance the day away
Wilderness below my feet
Just the thoughtless could dance
The rhythm of life
I had no time to hate
Because the grave would hinder me
And life was not so rich
I could finish enmity
Life may be full of care
And we hope for recovery
But while we are here
We should dance
The last time, my restless feet
Sensed the warmness of the sun
We walked side by side
The long and lost road along
At that time there was no need to dance
I had no time to hate
Because the grave would hinder me
And life was not so ample
I could finish enmity
The tragedy of life is
That it ends so soon
And that we wait
So long to begin with it
Dance like no one’s watching
Sing like no one’s listening
Love like you have never been hurt before
I’m lost and surrender in dance
Love like you have never been hurt before
I’m lost and surrender in dance
You can’t hurt me anymore

Poem “Go nightly cares” by John Dowland (1562-1626)

False world goodbye
The enemy to rest
Now do the worst
I do not weigh the spite
Free from the cares
I live forever blessed
Enjoying peace and heavenly true delight
Round the world and back again
Is very far to roam
The footloose life of now and then
A wind-bound exile far from home
The leaves that just are open now
They’ll have to fade and fall
Their faithful-ever blooming vow
Is merely in vain at all
Time’s endlessly weighing
If you’re prepared for the great trial
You know that you’re just waiting
For the old man’s smile
I remember all words spoken
All the songs that had been sung
How gracious were our hearts unbroken
When you and me were oh so young
Can’t you see the coming dawn of summer day
Can’t you smell the fear for this endless way
False world goodbye
The enemy to rest
Now do the worst
I do not weigh the spite
Free from the cares
I live for ever blessed
Enjoying peace and heavenly true delight
All the words remain unstated
All the songs I do not know
All too late my mind’s elated
Take over now regretful woe
The summer’s turning into pale
Finally I close my eye
There is no use to desperate wail
Although it calls my soul to die
At last

My Favourite Dream

3:47

Lyrics by: Oliver Thierjung

He is nice he is young
He is graceful the son of the king, a part of my favourite dreams in the night
His eyes always light, only for me and one day it will be
What ever you’ll see in me
One night long I am your favourite dream
Never forget me
Cause you won’t ever know who I am
Stupid sisters of mine, your dreams will forever be dreams not more
He’ll have the chance to call me his wife soon and no way to resist
His kismet he’ll find, he’ll find only in me
What ever you’ll see in me
One night long I am your favourite dream
Never forget me
Cause you won’t ever know who I am
I’ll leave no stone unturned
In my beautiful endless frock
I’m soft and tender like a rose in red enchanted and glad
I’ll enter the room gracile and in bloom
What ever you’ll see in me
One night long I am your favourite dream
Never forget me
Cause you won’t ever know who I am
Heaven oh heaven please send me a sign
Cause the bad sisters of mine
Heaven oh heaven please give me a chance let me be delighted and free
Only this night
I close my eyes
And start my favourite dream

Promised Land

3:15

Lyrics by: Linda Laukamp, Matthias Prause

Ahead I see the shoes
Well-worn from all the land
Gentle ones and kind
As well as bleak and baleful ones
We’ve seen – our journey through decades
The auras of the world
Are always suffusing our heads
Faces passing by
Some to notice and some to forget
Our shadows stay behind
Where once we were condemned to be slaves
Today nothing is left
But our bleached and battered skin and bones
Now our hearts arrived
Where our souls are still longing to be
Step by step we go
The road is long, the fate in our hands
Our way to the Promised Land
We seek to reach it soon
The land where we can linger after all
A place to just call home
Ahead I see a boy
His young hands outworn from hard work
Who defines his life
He is not the one who pulls the strings
But see – our journey far away
We beg for freedom
But sorrow is all we receive
Too weak to fight against
But too strong to just accept without hate

These days are long ago
I turn my eyes to better dreams
We don’t fear the dark
Cause we want to achieve an aim
From now on there’s no mourn
Only laughter will be our guide
Now our hearts arrived
And our souls don’t need to long anymore
Our way to the Promised Land
We seek to reach it soon
The land where we can linger after all
A place to just call home

Days Of Yore

4:12

Lyrics by: Linda Laukamp

Day by day we can´t help growing older
Year by year spring did not help to feel young
Even the sun is getting cold and colder
I´ve failed you in more ways than one
Tonight the evening mists, find no place to gather
Twilight falls light drops of silent rain
Saddened by the dying spring
Song and dance have come to an end
I think back of all my days of yore
Laugh and talk vanished to ash and smoke
I do nothing to remember
But I´m not able to forget
Tonight the evening mists, find no place to gather
Twilight falls light drops of silent rain
Saddened by the dying spring
Song and dance have come to an end
Your lonely grave a thousand miles away
My face full of dust my hair like snow
There´s a loveliness we share
Even though we´re a thousand miles apart
Tonight the evening mists, find no place to gather
Twilight falls light drops of silent rain
Saddened by the dying spring
Song and dance have come to an end
When shall we lie again – with no more tears
Hardly able to bear the sorrows – and regrets of my dreams
I have come a thousand miles – sad now with autumn
And with my hundred years of woe – I climb this height alone
My road has wound through many years
Yellow leaves are shaken with a gale
Why should you linger at the fork of the road
Too late to learn what sorrow means
Since yesterday betrayed and bolt me
Today has hurt my heart even more
I bless you for your true advice
But if we met I would not mind
Dance with me we´re leaving all to soon

Fairyland

3:45

Lyrics by: Oliver Thierjung

What is the kingdom I mean
Where the width never end
Splendid and mighty
We all would be imposed
Bewitch me with your touch
And your colored tenderness
Feel the wind and carry me away
Is there a difference
Between a singer and his song
Or is there a difference
Between a dancer and his dance
Or is that only one
Like the nature and the kingdom of light
Wavelength where the music ever sounds
Without a masquerade
And heal all my wounds
I know or feel it or I see
The moment has come
Where my heart's getting free
Fairyland
Seven ways for one
Fairyland
Blooming in the sun
Fairyland
Deep extensive mind
Fairy Fairy Fairyland
So many gates begin were other ends
Everybody has a name
That proves your existence
But no one here has ever called any name
And I allow my knowledge
To haze around me
Give them a name
Take notice of them
That's my first threshold
And the rest I leave behind
In acknowledgement
Absoluteness you can find
The way through the first gate
Is to give names for the nameless lights
Wavelength where the music ever sounds
Without a masquerade
And heal all my wounds
I know or feel it or I see
The moment has come
Where my heart's getting free Fairyland
Seven ways for one
Fairyland
Blooming in the sun
Fairyland
Deep extensive mind
Fairy Fairy Fairyland
So many gates begin were other will never find
I have the key to the fairyland
On the threshold I stay
Where the wilderness never ends
But the heaven without firework
And without peal of the bells
Which calls me

Autumntales

4:10

Lyrics by: Linda Laukamp, Carolin Schweitzer

Farewell oh farewell
Sweet dancers in the wind
I see you are prepared
To come with me
The long way home again
Farewell my beloved
(Farewell to you)
I whisper to a fading flower
(I greet your embrace)
There’s so much life in dying
After all this time you can go to sleep
(after all this time that passed I can go to sleep)
This well-known melody
Rises up above the orphan trees
Rejoining the restless wind
Bequeath scarlet rain to hunted leaves
Through this decay
You can see her
How she wanders how she cries silent tears
Midnight’s coming all too soon
And she has to end what she´s begun
Come near come near to me
I know you are frightened
And I can’t keep you safe
But see there’s nothing holding you anymore
So please don’t insist on the waste
And now I see your eyes
(I’m waiting for you)
Your broken beauty is my pride
(I welcome your kiss)
There’s so much life in dying
Take my hand, rest your head and seek relief
(I’ve saved my life for you ,oh come near my bitter fate)
Hope in her hair
And her fingers borrow pity out of your heart
Her eyes are staring right through you
And you can see yourself in them
Sweet dancers
There is nothing holding you anymore
Please come with me my dear
Now autumns tears begin to freeze
And I’m willing to leave again
(the long way home again)

Wild Birds

3:15

Lyrics by: Linda Laukamp

Lovely how we met each other,
Once in a clear summer night,
Our hearts sang merry songs.
As our souls come dancing by,
There stood in golden cages locked,
The tame birds by the riverside.
They'll never know the lovely dance,
Can never feel the touch of night,
For tame birds sing a song
Of freedom while the wild birds fly.
For tame birds sing a song
Of freedom while the wild birds fly.
Thought their song was beautiful,
Full of dreams about a flight,
They'd never dare to join our dancing
Our wildness makes them full of bright,
For tame birds sing a song
Of freedom while the wild birds fly.
No limits for our love were set,
We danced and sang to mornings light.
They looked at us not understanding,
Why our sun could shine more bright.
For tame birds sing a song
Of freedom while the wild birds fly.
For tame birds sing a song
Of freedom while the wild birds fly.
Happily they bear their fate,
Can't miss what they never had.
They don't know about the other world.
Where we dwell,
Sing and dance together.
But we remain wild birds forever,
Until we fail, until we're dead!

Hijo De La Luna

tonto el que no entienda
cuenta una leyenda
que una hembra gitana
conjuro a la luna hasta el amenazar
llorando pedia al llegar el dia
desposar un calé
tendras a tu hombre piel morena
desde el ciele hablo la luna llena
pero a cambio quiero
el hijo primero
que le engendres a el
que quien su hijo inmola
para no estar sola
poco le iba a querer
luna quieres ser madre
y no encuentras querer
que te haga mujer
dime luna de plata
que pretendes hacer
con un nino de piel
hijo de la luna
de padre canela nacio un nino
blanco como el lomo de un armino
con los ojos grises
en vez de aceituna
nino albino de luna
maldita su estampa
este hijo es de un payo
y yo no me lo cayo
gitano al creerse deshonrado
se fue a su mujer cuchillo en mano
!de quien es el hijo?
me has enganao fijo
y de muerte la hirio
luego se hizo al monte
con el nino en brazos
y alli le abandono
luna quieres ser madre
y no encuentras querer
que te haga mujer
dime luna de plata
que pretendes hacer
con un nino de piel
hijo de la luna y en las noches que haya luna llena
sera porque el nino este de buenas
y si el nino llora
menguara la luna
para hacerle una cuna
y si el nino llora
menguara la luna
para hacerle una cuna

Enchanted Moonlight

4:51

Lyrics by: Oliver Thierjung

Wild Dreams, wild lust, seduced, and passionately touched
You’re back, in hope for one kiss
In love, cold breath, we’re one, in our perspiration
You rule my soul, you thaw my skin
Console my tears, and be my sin
Where ways begin, to separate
We get together that’s our fate
There’s only you, there’s only me
I feel your lips, in ecstasy
Touch on my skin, I love your way
The candle lights, it’s time to pray
In the middle of the moonlight, first time to pray
And I close my eyes for to loose yourself in me,
It’s a new yearning you awake in me
Do with me what you want and what you did in your dreams
Let us forget, that we are not yet married
Feel the snake of sin, it might bring us to ruin
What we do is against the will of god
They could hang you high and let me burn
If you can’t give away from me
Wild Dreams, wild lust, seduced, and passionately touched
The moonlight enchants me
In love, cold breath, my tears are only for your love and for the perfect night
Moonlight enchants me
My heart’s your slave
My curious, win now the fight against the reason
God forgive my sin
Finish with me, what we begun
And in the moonlight, I feel the sun
The only way, you find in me
No other way, and we feel free
The only witness is, the starry sky
I say some lovely whispers, and could die
I am fathomed, the innocence
Forever lost, forever past
In the middle of the moonlight, forever past
More intensified, from one moment to the next
And your breath goes faster ever more
And we melt to one and get one with the universe
We are one step behind the door of heaven
Now relax darling, on my perspirated skin
With my hand I swim through your hair
And I now you cannot keep away from me
Cause the moonlight is enchanting
Wild Dreams, wild lust, seduced, and passionately touched The moonlight enchants me
In love, cold breath, my tears are only for your love and for the perfect night
Moonlight enchants me
My heart’s your slave
My curious, win now the fight against the reason
God forgive my sin

Regen

4:05

Lyrics by: Katharina Goll

Der Welt er Leben schenkt,
Des Tropfens Niederschlag.
Den neuen zarten Spross,
Den bringt er zum erblühen.
Wäscht ab den Staub,
Enthüllt der Blätter frisches Grün;
Doch trüb scheint jene Stund,
Zu der er kommen mag.
Es weint der Himmel still um einen Sonnentag,
Der hingeschieden ist
Und dunkle Wolken ziehn herauf.
Der Kuppel Glanz
Der Sonnenstrahlen flieht
Fort der Moment,
In dem des Tages Hoffnung lag.
Von düsteren Zeiten
Bringt ein fernes Grollen Kunde.
Der Wind fegt durchs Geäst,
Dreht lauernd seine Runde.
Und krächzend auf dem Feld
Sich schwarze Vögel scharen.
Von düsteren Zeiten
bringt ein fernes Grollen Kunde.
Es weint der Himmel still um einen Sonnentag,
Der hingeschieden ist
Und dunkle Wolken ziehn herauf.
Der Kuppel Glanz
Der Sonnenstrahlen flieht
Fort der Moment,
In dem des Tages Hoffnung lag.
Der Regen immer fiel,
Wenn wir uns nahe waren.
Doch trotz der Düsternis,
Bring er ein Lächeln mir.
Des Regens Tropfen,
Sind mir wir ein Kuss von dir,
Der Regen immer fiel,
Wenn wir uns nahe waren.
Es weint der Himmel still um einen Sonnentag,
Der hingeschieden ist
Und dunkle Wolken ziehn herauf.
Der Kuppel Glanz
Der Sonnenstrahlen flieht,
Fort der Moment,
In dem des Tages Hoffnung lag.
