Faun is a German band that was formed in 1998 and plays pagan folk, darkwave, and medieval music. The originality of their music style is that it falls back to "old" instruments, and the singing is always the center of attention. The vocals are performed in a variety of languages, including German, English, Latin, Greek, and Scandinavian languages. Their instruments include Celtic harp, Swedish nyckelharpa, hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, cittern, flutes, and many others.

FAUN - Ylfa Spere - Old English - 2023
DesireDeVereThe Elf Spear......... They were loud, yes, loud, when they rode over the (burial) mound; they were fierce when they rode across the land. When they rode across the land When they rode over the mound Rode over the land Over... Out, little spear, if there is one here within Hlūde wǣran hȳ lā hlūde ðā hȳ ofer þone hlǣw ridan: The lyrics of the song are based on an Old English medical text from the 10th century, „Wið færstice”, surviving in the collection known now as Lacnunga in the British Library. According to Felix Grendon, whose collection of Anglo-Saxon charms appeared in the Journal of American Folklore in 1908, “the charm is intended to cure a sudden twinge or stitch, possibly rheumatism that can be due to being shot by witches, elves, and other spirits that fly through the air.”26 views -
FAUN - November (Live) - Acoustic - German - 2020
DesireDeVereNovember......... Here we are now, Where none of us has been We were restless, The years are still hanging after us for a long time Everything that we have, that is what we are What we're waiting on, that is here Do you see the signs, Love and wrath Everything that remains Is an escape up ahead We set out too far off, Your heart breaks down every barrier What guides us now Is the abyss we found Here we are now, Where none of us has been We were restless, The years are still hanging after us for a long time The paths are getting steep, But even so, we still see Shadows are growing, The light shines (down) on us15 views -

Faun with Eluveitie - Gwydion - German - 2022
DesireDeVereGwydion......... The cold winter hindered us But now the wheel is turning I saw you in old dreams When I lay beneath the moon So from the deepest dream I woke up by your word Along with you are woods and trees proceeding to the final fight In the tight ban of the cold Your singing breezes from afar Gwydion1 Gwydion Son of the goddess, clairvoyant In the alder grove your light Unlock the winter´s catch from me Push away the night In the tight ban of the cold Your singing breezes from afar Gwydion Gwydion I have been in a multitude of shapes, Before I was unfettered. I have been a string in a harp, Disguised for nine years. I have been a tear in the air, I have been the dullest of stars. I have been a word among letters, I have been a book in my best age. I have been the light of lanterns, A year and a half. I have been a way, I have been an eagle. I have been a coracle in the seas: I have been a sword in the grasp of the hand I have been a shield in battle. Gwydion Gwydion Gwydion Gwydion33 views -
FAUN - Walpurgisnacht - German - 2017
DesireDeVereSaint Walpurga (born c. 710, probably in the kingdom of Wessex, England—died February 25, 779, Heidenheim, Alemannia [now in Germany]; feast day February 25) abbess and missionary who, with her brothers Willibald of Eichstätt and Winebald of Heidenheim, was important in St. Boniface’s organization of the Frankish church. Walpurga was a Benedictine at the monastery of Wimborne, Dorsetshire, when Winebald summoned her to rule the nuns at his double monastery of monks and nuns at Heidenheim, the only one of this type in 8th-century Germany. On his death in 761 she ruled the whole monastery. Buried at Heidenheim, her body was later moved and interred in the Church of the Holy Cross at Eichstätt. Soon after her death, memory of her seems to have become confused with that of Waldborg, a pre-Christian fertility goddess. On Walpurgis Night—the eve of May 1, the day on which her relics were taken to Eichstätt—witches are believed to rendezvous in the Harz mountains.23 views -
Faun - Aschenbrödel (Cinderella) - German - 2019
DesireDeVereCinderella......... Of noble figure and with eyes so delicate You must wear apron and rags With soot on the skin and with ashes in the hair You patiently endure the plagues So wash the soot off the skin Because miracles happen when you believe in them Do you know the time when your parents were still alive And you knew carefree dreams? Do you know the time when with flowing hair You found that magic hazel? So wash the soot off the skin Because miracles happen when you believe in them And in the dark a light shines A prince has redeemed you And with him you don't know about the shadows Do you know the time when in hunter's clothes You conquered the prince? Do you know the night, when in silk and velvet You swayed with him in the dance? So go with your head raised Because miracles happen when you believe in them And in the dark a light shines A prince has redeemed you And with him you don't know about the shadows And in the dark a light shines A prince has redeemed you And with him you don't know about the shadows And in the dark a light shines A prince has redeemed you And with him you don't know about the shadows31 views -
