Galdra - German lyrics
Ich sah dich im Fieber
Und traf dich im Traum
Auf höchstem Berge unterm Weltenraum
Deine Lider aus Rentierhaut
Sind wie Geister
Doch seltsam vertraut
Galdramaðr
Wenn dein Gesang ergraut
Galdramaðr
Reiten wir auf dem Wind
Mit Kraut und Feuer
Mit Feder und Stein
Wird Wald und Wiesen
Dein Tempel sein
Galdramaðr
Wenn dein Gesang ergraut
Galdramaðr
Reiten wir auf dem Wind
Galdra - lyrics English translation
I saw you in a fever,
and met you in a dream,
on the highest mountain under the sky.
Your eyelids made of reindeer skin
are like ghosts,
but strangely familiar
Wizard,
When your singing turns gray
Wizard,
We will ride the wind
With herb and fire,
with feather and stone,
shall forest and meadows be
your temple
Wizard,
When your singing turns gray
Wizard,
We will ride the wind

The Faun show at the Axis Club on 722 College St. was well-attended and had a lively audience. Before the show there was a VIP meet and greet event which required a separate ticket.
Faun is a German pagan folk band based near München in Bavaria, southern Germany, whose members are very talented and highly skilled musicians who play a variety of interesting instruments which are unusual up to now in the popular music scene. This includes the bagpipe, hurdy-gurdy, Swedish nyckelharpa, various flutes and stringed-instruments, a variety of percussion instruments, and a modern electronic component. Faun has also worked with Norwegian musicians Einar Selvik and Lindy Fay Hella of Wardruna, multi-instrumentalist Martin Seeberg from Denmark, Katja Moslehner, Rüdiger Maul and Margarethe Eible (Rairda) who has also performed with Poeta Magica.
Former band member, the stunningly beautiful, highly talented vocalist and multi-instrumentalist virtuoso Fiona Frewert (née Rüggeberg) made music history by introducing the bagpipes into modern popular music.
Faun has some very beautiful music videos made by filmmaker Kilian Keuchel.
