E Nomine- Heilig Lyrics/Liedtext

Schlafes Bruder has recently released a new video for "Heilig"- you can check it out here! ^^
• Heilig - Schlafes Bruder
Editor's Notes:
-"Heilig" means holy; however, given E Nomine's frequent use of Latin in their songs, it may also refer to "Santcus" which is closer to "sacred". I chose to go with holy as I felt it fit the song better.
In order to keep the song closer to its original lyrics I have purposely left some sentences a bit awkward for example, "Heilig ist mein Vaterland nicht Mehr," which is roughly- "Holy is only my country" = "Only my country is holy." "Holy...was nothing for us in this world" = "We found nothing in this world holy."
EDIT: As noxengel pointed out, "Heilig ist mein Vaterland nicht Mehr" isn't a perfect translation; just my preference :).
As always, Heilig is copyright E Nomine; I make no money from this.

I'm from Germany. I neither think they sing "Heilig ist mein Vaterland nicht mehr" nor "Heilig ist mein Schattenland nicht mehr". I think they sing "Heilig ist mein Vater, der mich liebt" which means in English "Holy is my father/god who loves me" And I think they don't sing "Sterben Feine durch meinen Arm" but "Sterben Freunde auf meinem Arm" (which means "Friends die in my arms")

[@TheYamiYugi]

pieza musical con mucha fuerza, imponente y vital. gracias a quien la haya subido. soy profesora de matemáticas y esta canción envía una energía muy profundo en mi ser. que estén bien todos.

[@fridcorrath]

This song reminds me of a story. An inquisitor putting down his sword and walking away from his latest capture. Realizing that in all of this, he had become the monster, those that had preached to him and turned him on this path had lost their minds. That this walk was his last as he had become what he sought out to defend his homeland from - evil.

This is the best E Nomine song since Mitternacht. I want to own this so bad!!

[@Magialenavolna]

I hear: Roter Regen auf mich fällt Heilig ist mein Zug in fremdes Land Heilig zu erheben meine Hand Heilig was der Glaube mir befiehlt Heilig weil mein Gott es von mir will! Doch heilig war uns nichts auf dieser Welt Heilig ist mein Kampf in diesem Krieg Heilig jedes Mittel für den Sieg Und heilig ist der Vater, der mich liebt Heilig all die Sünden mir vergibt Heilig tobt die Schlacht im Meer aus Blut Heilig sinkt mein Haupt vor Gottes Wut Heilig sterben Freund und Feind im Arm

[@QueenCheetah]

[@sparkfire22223]

I love the line 'Helig ist mein Faderland nicht mehr' but I don't think that translates as 'Holy is only my country' - I think it's 'Holy is my fatherland no more' (or no longer) - kind of the opposite. My German is kind of rusty and I'm not sure how much to trust Google Translate though lol

[@5Dale65]

Yes this is exactly what it is. I learnt German for six years, it was a long time ago but I still remember a few things. "Holy is only my country" would be "Heilig ist nur mein Vaterland" or sth. But here it is "My country/fatherland is not holy anymore" (not holy for me, or just in general).

[@mathes0618]

I agree with your interpretation but if you only hear it and there is no obvious pause, both interpretations could be right.

[@sparkfire22223]

@@mathes0618 I wish I could ask the artists haha - the literal translation to English would be 'Holy is my Fatherland no more' which means the Fatherland is not holy. But in the context - the lyrics are clearly about a call to a holy war to a 'foreign land' indicating that they are 'sent' from the Fatherland - so in the context of the lyrics, it makes more sense to believe that this is about a holy war; soldiers sent from their Holy Fatherland on a crusade against their unholy neighbours

[@samgonzalez7302]

I've always interpreted the line as meaning my fatherland is holy no more. But I suppose it could be heard as "holy is my fatherland, nothing else"

[@mrundmrsgnampf]

Those lyrics in the video are not correct. The line is "Heilig ist mein Vater der mich liebt" which means "Holy is my father who loves me".

[@DeltaSith]

You can't tell unless official lyrics are released. I don't know if E Nomine did release official lyrics, but just from hearing it, it could be "Heilig ist mein Vaterland nicht mehr" what would mean "My fatherland is no longer holy" or "Heilig ist mein Vaterland, nicht mehr" what would mean "My fatherland is holy, nothing else". From actual German grammar "My fatherland is no longer holy" would be "Mein Vaterland ist nicht mehr heilig", so I guess it is "My fatherland is holy, nothing else"

[@user-cw1md6no6d]

they put "nicht mehr" at the end of the sentence, only to put emphasis that the holy war was not holy, and it was unfair. The song is clearly against the pope

[@Eingabeaufforderung]

Great job. Keep going!

[@TeamRocket448]

OMG!!! This is so cool!!!

[@TheNielsPost]

'Heilig ist mein Vaterland nicht mehr' translates as: My fatherland isn't my holy anymore, not 'Holy is only my country.

[@SeemsOffTopic]

No it is just missing a ,,,,,! It means " Heilig ist mein Vaterland, nicht mehr"

[@SeemsOffTopic]

This means " Nothing is holy next to my fatherland" . Your English is a mess btw.

[@lalobee]

I think you misunderstood the phrase "Heilig ist mein Vaterland nicht mehr" because you missed the missing of "nicht mehr" in your translation. It means "no long", so "holy is my country no more" would be more in the spirit, especially it aligns better with the rest of the text, that nothing is holy anymore directly in front of that part.

Hi. :) I have a German-Spanish translation. But, in a part, we are not translated same. "Heilig ist mein Vaterland nicht Mehr" I translated this way: "Holy is not more my Fatherland [or country]" In spanish is: "Sagrada no es más mi patría" I don´t know what do you think about it. Check it out and you notice me, yes? Greetings. (:

Turning around once, he picked up his sword realizing his work was not done. Instead of seeking those he hunted, he turned to those who had set him on this path. In the end it was the one he had first walked away from that killed him. A tear flowed down his cheek, with his spoke "justice is done." Good story, though i think i butchered it.

[@cliffordvantonder5535]

Hi everyone what kind of music is this cause I love it and in what language is it

[@QueenCheetah]

The band ('E Nomine') called their music 'Monumental Dance', and is based on a combination of modern electronics and Gregorian chanting. The languages are German (where the band was started) and Latin (because it sounds epic, lol?). And I'm glad you like!

[@DeltaSith]

It isn't in E Nomine's version, it is in Schlafens Bruder's version. You can clearly understand "Roter Regen auf die Welt" as a German. The sentence "Roter Regen auf mich fällt" doesn't make sense, you would have to add an adverb in front of the sentence or say "Roter Regen fällt auf mich"

[@user-cw1md6no6d]
