    Post [TLK Lyrics] German with English translations

    Nathalie has already stared with some translations here and I thought it would be nice to "collect" some translations. So I started a new thread for the German TLK Lyrics and their translations into English.

    Please keep in mind that this is not a "literal translation". I try keeping the translation close to the original words but sometimes I changed the structure or chose different words so you can understand what it means. Let's start with the first song: Circle of Life.
    More to follow, hopefully.

    1. Circle of Life

    German Lyrics:

    Der ewige Kreis

    Von Geburt an beginnt das Erlebnis
    Wenn wir uns zur Sonne dreh'n
    Es gibt mehr zu seh'n, als man je sehen kann
    Mehr zu tun, soviel mehr zu versteh'n
    English Translation:

    The eternal Circle


    (From birth the experience begins)
    (When we turn towards the sun)
    (There’s more to see, than one can ever see)
    (More to do, so much more to understand)
    Das Leben hier ist ein Wunder
    Alles neu, alles endlos und weit
    Und die Sonne zieht leis'
    Ihren goldenen Kreis
    Führt Groß und Klein in die Ewigkeit
    (Life here is a miracle)
    (Everything is new, everything is endless and wide)
    (And the sun moves quietly)
    (In its golden circle)
    (Leads great and small into eternity)
    Und im ewigen Kreis
    Dreht sich unser Leben
    Dem Gesetz der Natur
    Sind wir geweiht
    (And in the eternal circle)
    (Our life turns)
    (To the law of nature)
    (We are pledged*)
    Wir sind alle Teil
    Dieses Universums
    Und das Leben
    Ein Ewiger Kreis
    (We are all part)
    (Of this universe)
    (And the life)
    (An eternal circle)
    Und im Ewigen Kreis
    Dreht sich unser Leben
    Dem Gesetz der Natur
    Sind wir geweiht
    (And in the eternal circle)
    (Turns our life)
    (To the law of nature)
    (We are pledged*)
    Wir sind alle Teil
    Dieses Universums
    Und das Leben
    Ein Ewiger Kreis
    (We are all part)
    (Of this universe)
    (And the life)
    (An eternal circle)
    *Note: The German word "geweiht" is very difficult to translate here. It means "obliged" or "pledged" but in a spiritual way. It means that one's purpose is based on the laws of nature and so it highly influences one's life.
