On these lofty mountaintops

Embrace her dark-blue, ice-cold bosom

From the tips of your high-leaping flames

Let your sparks fly out

Down the unfathomable, dark-cold abyss
那些莫測的黑暗而又冰冷的深谷
Let them flash on the souls fast asleep there
去照見那些沉睡的靈魂
Let them, even if only in dazed dreaming
讓它們即使在飄渺的夢中
Dance, for once, the dance of joy
也能得到一次狂歡的舞蹈
Set these black nights ablaze
在這些黑夜里燃燒起來
Let the flames climb higher and higher!
更高些!更高些!
Let your joyous configurations
讓你的歡樂的形體
Rise from the ground to the heavens
從地面升向高空
Inspire this wearisome world of ours

With the dance of your spirited fire
因了你的火光的鼓舞
Rise up and soar!

Look to you

All heed your earth-shaking summons
都因了你的召喚而震蕩
Oh, your joyous flames

Oh, your trembling flames

Listen! From what profound corner
聽呀,從什么深邃的角落
Comes this song that hymns your praise like a waterfall…
