Hörst du den Wind
Oonagh Lyrics

The lyrics of "Hörst du den Wind" convey messages of connecting with one’s heritage and roots, of following one’s destiny, and of embracing the power within oneself. The song begins with the lines "Durch den Nebel der Zeit dringen Worte zu dir" which translate to "through the fog of time, words penetrate to you". It implies that the words being spoken are old and come from a distant past yet they are meant only for the listener’s ears.

The chorus "Hörst du den Wind wie er dich ruft?" (Do you hear the wind calling?) encourages the listener to listen to the whispers and songs of the past, represented by the wind. The phrase "Aranna Namárië" is repeated in the chorus, which is an Elvish phrase from J.R.R. Tolkien’s "Lord of the Rings" books, meaning "blessings, farewell" or "may your roads be green." This phrase adds a touch of mysticality and mythological references to the song.

The verse "Geh die Spuren zurück, deine Ahnen sind hier" (Go back to the traces, your ancestors are here) prompts the listener to search for their roots and ancestors, which will give them a sense of identity and belonging. The song further emphasizes that each person possesses a unique power and destiny they must walk in, for this is the purpose of their existence.

Overall, "Hörst du den Wind" is a song about rediscovery of one’s identity, the power within oneself, and the importance of embracing one's past.
