Fairy Tale

"Jesu, Salvator Mundi
Tuis famulis subveni
Quos pretioso sanguine
Quos pretioso sanguine
Redemisti."

Fairy lady, who stands on the walls
Life is short and wait is long
The stars, away, dim with the dawn
Fairy lady, who stands on the walls.

Your tale has only begun
It comes from far, the Nowhereland
The wind is blowing a sound well known
Fairy lady, your love is long gone.

Oh darling, hear my soul and heed my cry
Cause all my crying may flood
A river in my heart.

Oh, life is good
Oh, life is good
Oh, life is good
As good as you wish!

Pretty lady, the horses are back
Bringing joy and happiness
But all of a sudden the horses are gone
It was only the sound
Of your heartbeat alone!

Oh darling, hear my soul and heed my cry
Cause all my crying may flood
A river in my heart.

Oh, life is good
Oh, life is good
Oh, life is good
As good as a kiss!

Oh my darling, now I cannot
Halt my cries
My tears have drowned me
And I refuse to realise.

What's left around me
It's all so strange
It's all so dark
I'm all alone here
To mend the pieces of my heart.

Little lady, your tale has an end
For your love to the skies was sent
He's turned into sparks
That shine with the stars.

And by night he will always be there
For his lady to stare
And thus he's never died.
