On these lofty mountaintops

From the tips of your high-leaping flames

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

Let the flames climb higher and higher!
更高些!更高些!
Let your joyous configurations

With the dance of your spirited fire

All heed your earth-shaking summons

Oh, your trembling flames

Listen! From what profound corner

Comes this song that hymns your praise like a waterfall…
