The castle at the sea

Have you seen the castle,
The high castle at the sea?
Golden and rosy,
The fog blows over it.
 
Indeed, I have seen it
The high castle at the sea
And the moon standing above it
And the fog around it
 
The wind and the sea's waves
Do they make fresh sounds?
Did you hear, from high halls
Strings and festive singing?
 
The winds and the surges all
Were lying in deep silence
I listend to a lament from the hall
With tears in my eyes.
 
Did you see him standing
The King and his consort?
Their red coats are blowing,
The golden crowns ray?
 
Didn't they guard with delight
A pretty virgin here
Shining like a sun
Shining with golden hair?
 
Indeed, I saw both parents
Without their crown's light
In black mourning dresses
I didn't see the virgin.
