Rheingold Lyrics

In the depths of the river Deep in the waves Three Rhine Maidens are singin' Songs of the brave
An ugly dwarf Greedy with pleasure Desires of the gold Tries to steal the treasure
Guardians of the holy treasure No cheat should steal it from the river Gleaming glow in the water's depth Shines brightly, bravely through the waves
Rheingold, Rheingold Rheingold, Rheingold
Who denies love Who forfeits its power Can attain the magic To forge a ring
If you are unarmored And longing for love Let's see my handsome What you look like?
Guardians of the holy treasure No cheat should steal it from the river Gleaming glow in the water's depth Shines brightly, bravely through the waves
Rheingold, Rheingold Rheingold, Rheingold
Aren't you afraid? Brood of the waters Then conquer the dark And I'll put out your light
I wrench the gold from the rock Forge the ring of revenge For hell and the devil I curse my love
Guardians of the holy treasure No cheat should steal it from the river Who from the Rheingold will fashion the ring Win the world's wealth and will be king?
Rheingold, Rheingold
