Lovely Festival

dance, dance, form a circle dance, dance, everyone!
tohyra tohyra, by the drum and the flute, tohyra tohyra, we are all led
dance, dance, circle round the flame, dance, dance, put the torch in your hand
tohyra tohyra, dance, dance, tohyra, tohyra the sound of the bell...

sing, dance, twine those fingers round, sing, dance, like a dancing puppet
torere torere, by the festival music, torere torere we are all invited
sing, dance, between the light and darkness, sing, dance, we are submerged
torere torere, coming from shadow, torere torere so strange...

the wind whirls about, the instruments of death scattered,
the woods sway, our sleep is stolen
the fire burns furiously, life is extinguished,
the mountains crack open, swallowing everything

seeking a world overflowing with light, our quarrels never cease
the fangs of slaughter will no longer avoid anyone
the fallen tears will meet the ground, drowning out even its luster

dance, dance, raise your heads, dance, dance, you evil spirits!
tohyra tohyra, ring out the bell, tohyra tohyra, dance and trample
sing, dance, as they gorge on sweet wine, sing, dance, for this victory of darkness
torere torere the fools, torere torere, screamed out

the wind whirls about, the instruments of death scattered,
the woods sway, our sleep is stolen
the fire burns furiously, life is extinguished,
the mountains crack open, swallowing everything

seeking a world overflowing with light, our quarrels never cease
the fangs of slaughter will no longer avoid anyone
the fallen tears will meet the ground, drowning out even its luster

aa, how pitiful... aa, how lamentable...
