Krähenkönig [English translation]

I am the king of crows,

My kingdom is desolate and empty,

The source of my life,

it no longer gushes forth,

The servants of my crown

left the valley long ago,

My tree lost its leaves,

The branches became bare

I am the king of crows,

now I am all alone,

We were seven brothers

with a little sister,

I lost her ring,

as the light of her eyes1 broke,

And she went away,

The winter broke in

Day and night I shout myself hoarse

Wind blows all words away

Day and night I shout my crow's word

I am the king of crows,

the grain is trampled,

the gallows are broken,

and my rage is fiery,

If I could live once more,

if I still had the choice,

I would repeat nothing of my anguish

Day and night I shout myself hoarse

Wind blows all words away

Day and night I shout myself hoarse

I curse this place

Day and night I shout my crow's word

Day and night I shout myself hoarse

Wind blows all words away

Day and night I shout myself hoarse

I curse this place

Day and night I shout myself hoarse

I wish I were a thousand miles away

Day and night I shout my crow's word

1. I know "Augenschein" to mean "inspection" but I guess it's meant more literally here?
