lyrics

A king of swans was bowing
His neck down on the water

His wings were white as the first day
Pure as siren's note
And in the glitter of the morning sun
He looks into the mirror of the waves
And with breaking eyes he knows
This will be his farewell

And the swan king began
To sing his first song,
Under the weeping willow
Where he loved his life
And he sings in the most beautiful tones
That ever were heard on earth

Of the beauty of this earth
Which bewitches him immortally

When a swan sings, the beasts are silenced
When a swan sings, the creatures hear it
And they murmur softly to each other, murmur softly to each other
There is a swan king who dies in love

And the swan king sings
All his last day
Until the evening sun
Silently flees into the dark red
Silently the weeping willow
Lowers its leaves like lances
Softer and softer the sounds
Until the last light burns out in song

When a swan sings, the beasts are silenced
When a swan sings, the creatures hear it
And they murmur softly to each other, murmur softly to each other
There is a swan king who dies in love
