Das Lied Der Ahnen
Oonagh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Die Zeiten verwehen
Nur das Lied unserer Ahnen bleibt
Alle Helden vergehen
Die Zeiten verwehen
Nur das Lied unserer Ahnen bleibt
Von Licht und Dunkelheit
Von Göttern und Schätzen
Vom Anbeginn der ersten Zeit
Die Sagen entführen in alle Welt hinaus
Nichts hält uns dort auf
Alle Helden vergehen
Die Zeiten verwehen
Nur das Lied unserer Ahnen bleibt
Alle Macht geht dahin
Ein weinen im Wind
Nur das Lied unserer Ahnen bleibt
Mit Schicksal und Glaube und nichts als deinem Wort
Gefahren im Auge
Allein an einem fremden Ort
Durch Abschied und Sehnsucht
Tritt an den langen weg
Sag wohin es Geht
Alle Helden vergehen
Die Zeiten verwehen
Nur das Lied unserer Ahnen bleibt
Alle Macht geht dahin
Ein weinen im Wind
Nur das Lied unserer Ahnen bleibt
Ilyë callor quelir, i lúmi sintar
Er marë i lindë yáratarilvon
Ilya túre fifírwë, liltalë vailessë
Er marë i lindë yáratarilvon

Alle Helden vergehen
Die Zeiten verwehen
Nur das Lied unserer Ahnen bleibt
Alle Macht geht dahin
Ein weinen im Wind
Nur das Lied unserer Ahnen bleibt
Alle Helden vergehen
Die Zeiten verwehen
Nur das Lied unserer Ahnen bleibt
Alle Macht geht dahin
Ein weinen im Wind
Nur das Lied unserer Ahnen bleibt
The lyrics of "Minne" by Oonagh feat. Santiano speak to the impermanence of life and the importance of remembering the stories and traditions of our ancestors. The opening lines "Alle Helden vergehen, die Zeiten verwehen" (all heroes pass away, time fades) set the stage for a reflection on mortality, and the repeated phrase "Nur das Lied unserer Ahnen bleibt" (only the song of our ancestors remains) emphasizes the importance of cultural heritage and the power of storytelling to keep history alive.
The lyrics then call for a recounting of the beginning of time, with references to gods, darkness, and treasures. The verses suggest that the legends and myths passed down from our ancestors can transport us to different worlds and provide a sense of escape from the present. However, the chorus brings us back to reality with the reminder that power and might are fleeting and that only the legacy of our ancestors can truly endure.
As the song progresses, it speaks to the challenges of forging one's own path and the loneliness that can come with being the only one to stand up for something. The final lines, in a mix of German and Tolkien's Elvish language, offer a sense of hope amidst the struggles and sorrows of life.
Overall, "Minne" is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and recognizing the fleeting nature of power and fame.

For all the non German speakers
All heroes pass
Time goes by
only the song of our ancestors endures
All heroes pass
Time goes by
only the song of our ancestors endures
Tell me of the beginning
of light and darkness
of gods and treasures
of the very beginning of the first age
The sagas lead us out into the wide world
Nothing is holding us back there
All heroes pass
Time goes by
only the song of our ancestors endures
All power fades away
a crying in the wind
only the song of our ancestors endures
With destiny and faith and nothing but your word
mindful of the danger
alone in place that's strange to us
through parting and longing
embark on the long journey
say where it leads
All heroes pass
Time goes by
only the song of our ancestors endures
All power fades away
a crying in the wind
only the song of our ancestors endures
All heroes pass, time goes by
only the song of our ancestors endures
All power fades away, a dancing in the wind
only the song of our ancestors endures
