Das ferne leuchtet; Vom Meere dampfet dein besonnter Strand Den Nebel, so der Götter Wange feuchtet. Uralte Wasser steigen Verjüngt um deine Hüften, Kind! Vor deiner Gottheit beugen Sich Könige, die deine Wärter sind. Weyla's song You are Orplid, my land! The distant gleaming; From the sea, your sunny shore steams with mist, which moistens the cheeks of gods. Ancient waters rise rejuvenated about your hips, child! To your divinity bow kings, who are your attendants. Translation from German to English copyright © by Emily Ezust Canto di Weyla Tu sei Orplid, la mia terra, che risplendi in lontananza; dal mare innalza la tua spiaggia assolata la nebbia, che rinfresca le guance degli dei. Acque antichissime salgono ringiovanite intorno ai tuoi fianchi, creatura! Davanti alla tua divinità si inchinano re, che sono i tuoi custodi.
