Die wilde Jagd English translation
von Versengold

A storm arises, drives through the treetops
Of the naked woods, frost freezes
And from the summit of the Hörselberg
the wild hunt rushes down

And ahead in the roar of the storm
A dark gentleman on a horse
In a whirlwind of ice and thunder
He blows his horn and raises his spear

And beside him the black hounds
Howling through the wind
They carry red embers in their mouths
That runs from their lips

Come and run, run, run as fast as you can
Behind you the ghostly storm, if you stop you'll be lost
Come and run, run, run as fast as you can
When the wild chase catches up with you, you'll be part of it too
So run as fast as you can


And the dead will march behind you
Twitching from the shadows
Cursed is he who falls alive
Into their cold hands

Dark crows in the sky
That the rider drags with him
And their hoarse voices sing
Singing their death song to you in the wind

Come and run, run, run as fast as you can
Behind you the ghostly storm, if you stop you're lost′n
Come and run, run, run as fast as you can
When the wild hunt catches up with you, you'll be part of it too
So run as fast as you can

When you hear the thundering hoofbeats in the wind, then run, run
If you hear the thundering hoofbeats in the wind, then run, run

Come and run, run, run as fast as you can
Behind you the ghostly storm, if you stop you're lost
Come and run, run, run as fast as you can
When the wild chase catches up with you, you'll be part of it too
So run as fast as you can
As fast as you can

And from the top of Hörselberg
The wild chase will come rushing down
