[monserrattrodriguez]

Diese Nacht ist kalt (This night is cold)
Und der Wind der bläst (And the wind that blows)
Durch unser Land (Through our land)
Und wer jetzt noch geht (And who is still going now)
Ist ein Armer Tor (Is a poor fool)
Oder auf dem Weg, zu der Liebsten (Or on the way to the most loved one)
Die jede reise lohnt (who makes every trip worth it)

Ohhh
Öffne mir, lass mich hinein (Open up for me, let me in)
Dein Liebster steht im Mondenschein (Your lover is standing in the moonlight)
Diese Nacht ist so kalt (This night is so cold)
So öffne mir (So open up for me)
Denn Morgen wird's zu spät sein (Because tomorrow will be too late)

Mein Vater wacht über Haus und Hof (My father watches over the house and yard)
Meine Tür versperrt ein Eisenschloss (My door is locked by an iron lock)
Und ich habe keinen Schlüssel dafür (And I don't have a key for it)
Es führt heute Nacht kein Weg zu mir (There is no way that leads you to me tonight)

Ohhh
Öffne mir, lass mich hinein (Open up for me, let me in)
Dein Liebster steht im Mondenschein (Your lover is standing in the moonlight)
Diese Nacht ist so kalt (This night is so cold)
So öffne mir (So open up for me)
Denn Morgen wird's zu spät sein (Because tomorrow will be too late)


Doch die Nacht ist so kalt (Of course the night is so cold)
Endlich öffnet sie ihm (Finally she opens up to him)
Und sie küsst ihres Liebsten kalte Stirn (And she kisses her lover's cold forehead)
Diese Nacht ist so kalt (This night is so cold)
Doch sie öffnet die Tür und er küsst sie (But she opens the door and he kisses her)
Sieben mal dafür (Seven times for it)

Ohhh
Öffne mir, lass mich hinein (Open up for me, let me in)
Dein Liebster steht im Mondenschein (Your lover is standing in the moonlight)
Diese Nacht ist so kalt (This night is so cold)
So öffne mir (So open up for me)
Denn Morgen wird's zu spät sein (Because tomorrow will be too late)

Der Morgen graut (The morning is dawn)
Und der Wind der geht durch unser Land (And the wind that goes through our land)
Doch das Mädchen liegt in ihres Liebsten Arm (But the girl lies in her lover's arm)
Und danket sehr der kalten Nacht und dem Wind dafür (And thank the cold night and the wind very much for it)

I have no idea what they're singing, but they're doing a damn good job at it.

[onkaragarwal]

German can either be rough and hard like Rammstein or absolutely melodic and soothing like faun

And both are brilliant

[amyknox]

I don't really understand why some people despise german so much... it's such a beautiful language, and like other languages it may sound hard OR soft - it just depends on the occasion. I listen to german songs (mostly metal tbh) since i was a kid, but i just found you, and you make me love this language even more! Your music is truly exceptional.
Greetings from Italy <3

I took a wild guess the title meant 'This Cold Night'. I think this band is subliminally teaching me German.

[CuleChick]

This is absolutely beautiful. This is the very first song I ever heard from this group and to date it's still my favorite. The video is gorgeous too.

[jasminwagner]

kaum deutsche hier in den Kommentaren haha

[AnnaSirena]

If somebody wondering what castle is this..
This is Marienburg Castle in Lower Saxony, Germany.
Love the song! Thank you FAUN ❤

[serenafincel]

My German teacher said that to learn German a person should listen to any Germen for 30 minutes every day. I love to listen to Faun.

[StarLost]

The German language is so diverse and can sound so many ways, I absolutely love this band/group so much and has given me a new love for German🥺

[peanutbutterex]

First heard this song in my German class in freshman year of high school. I fell in love with it the same way I fell in love with the language. It’s so gorgeous, and opened my eyes to the rest of the wonderful music you guys create!

[ozan.arslan]

One of the most underrated bands, you guys are amazing. The feelings, the goosebumps... Faun never disappoints, greetings from Turkey.

[GB-ekem]

Dieses Lied ist in meinem Herzen. Mit Liebe aus Frankreich, liebe Brüdern (oder cousinen) ! ❤️❤️❤️

[Shay]

One of the best song i've ever listen. German is one of the best language in the world. 🇫🇷❤️🇩🇪

[РамисАминов-ыд]

Ну что, остались еще глупцы, которые считают немецкий язык грубым?)

[rhiannonfugatt]

Das einzige Problem mit diesem Lied ist, dass es nicht lang genug ist, ich würde am Ende des Liedes mindestens zwei weitere Refrains hinzufügen! Einfach wunderbar!

[piotrwiderynski]

Ta noc jest taka zimna
I wiatr który wieje
Przez nasz kraj
I kto jeszcze idzie
Jest biednym głupcem
Lub jest w drodze do ukochanej
Która warta jest każdej podróży.

Otwórz mi, wpuść mnie do środka
Twój ukochany stoi w świetle księżyca
Ta noc jest taka zimna
Więc otwórz mi
Bo jutro może być już za późno.

Mój ojciec pilnuje domu i obejścia
Moje drzwi są zamknięte na żelazny zamek
Nie mam do nich klucza
Dziś w nocy żadna droga do mnie nie prowadzi.

Otwórz mi, wpuść mnie do środka
Twój ukochany stoi w świetle księżyca
Ta noc jest taka zimna
Więc otwórz mi
Bo jutro może być już za późno.

Gdyż noc jest taka zimna
W końcu otworzyła mu
I pocałowała zimne czoło ukochanego.
Ta noc jest taka zimna
Lecz otworzyła drzwi i on pocałował ją
Za to siedem razy. 

Otwórz mi, wpuść mnie do środka
Twój ukochany stoi w świetle księżyca
Ta noc jest taka zimna
Więc otwórz mi
Bo jutro może być już za późno.

Poranek świta
I wiatr, który wieje przez nasz kraj
Lecz dziewczyna leży w ramionach kochanka
I dziękuje za to zimnej nocy i wiatrowi.

German is a heritage language for me, my mothers side. We are from Iowa, USA, since the early 1900's. Great grandma came alone as a girl of 17. When I was growing up she stayed winters with us and so she and my mom occationally spoke German and I imagined I would remember some words and phrases.
The first year of the pandemic I didn't work, heart condition. Im in my sixties. I decided to study German using Duo lingo and other sources on line.
I alwas loved Faun and looked forward to perhaps understanding these songs.
Just now, I find I can! With this song. It has simple enough lyrics and with those I can extrapolate the other meanings. Im thrilled.
Skoal to the beautiful music makers!!

[JDOTBlocka]

German is an amazing language, I've been wanting to learn it for such a long time!
Faun never disappoints me. I wish Germany and faun the best of luck!
Greetings from Russia 🇷🇺 :)

This song makes me cry, you know that unexplainable feeling that you have when you hear something and it's feels so good and warm and welcoming to you.
