I finally got to listen to the OST today. There are some really amazing tracks in there, just as good as the ones from Sawano's work in Gundam UC such that attack on titan or counter attack mankind. But that Vogel im Käfig deserves a special mention, it's so overwhelming I'm not surprised this many people liked it. That song is IMHO is one if not the best anime tracks I've heard in recent years.
So I'll get to the point, does someone have translation for that song? (Or at least can try to translate it)

There are the lyrics.

But I think these are "official". Even as a German I usually hear something completely different than what is "supposed to be there". These lyrics also don't contain the opera parts. But if you want I can at least translate the "official" German parts.

Yes, thanks a lot. I'd appreciate it if you do.

ok...

Now "official lyrics" copy-pasted from: http://forum.gamer.com.tw/C.php?bsn=43473&snA=4199, but I made some minor corrections...

Spoiler for 'official' German Lyrics:

And now my translation. I do it as literally as possible, but some things simply sound so ridiculously grammatically wrong that I can only hope that I understood it right myself:

Spoiler for English translation:

Well this is it... more or less. I really got more than one headache about how I am supposed to translate something when even the German version doesn't sound correct... Is it really so hard for them to employ actual German singers?

desrtsku · 2013-06-29, 10:16

Again, thanks a lot for your hard work.

It's probably just my thinking...but probably Japanese people prefer to work with professional people who knows how to speak Japanese who are living in Japan. That's why it's probably hard for them to find actual ones. Also considering how the budget on SnK was used....Hmmm...

The none vocal osts great epic love em.

The osts with vocals for the most part make me want to run my head into a wall repeatedly to get the sound out of my head.

I don't mind the others but not liking Vogel im Käfig is sign of bad taste for me. Just my honest opinion in there.

Said for the most part meaning there are a few exceptions.

So you want to tell me... that you dislike ət'æk 0N tάɪtn? Heresy! I really hope for you that ət'æk 0N tάɪtn is one of the "exceptions" as well. It is the most epic song ever since "Libera me from hell".

blakstealth · 2013-06-30, 08:44

lol Vogel im Kafig has to be my 2nd fav. track. I fell in love with it the minute I heard it when Mikasa witnessed that Abormal Titan save her.

Kinda meant songs with lyric's being song mostly when I said vocals.

Every thing in that song is great except for the part where the lady sings for a few verses. Her singing is average.

And most epic song ever is kinda blowing it ou of proportion its good but if u sub to one of the channels that upload two steps from hell,immediate music,audio machine u can pretty much get a song of that quality everyday. I have yet to hear a composer top immidate music preliator,darkness on the edge of power,or an epic age. Funny thing is a epic age was used for the attack on titan P.V.

Westlo · 2013-06-30, 09:05

This score is pretty mediocre compared to Sawano's best works, I mean if I was making a best of sawano cd the only track I would even lock in from this ost would be counterattack, and I really don't like the added on secondhalf to that song. Vogel would also be in the mix but the rest meh, I'm sure people will like this but I'm also sure people like Zimmers score for Man of Steel which was also mediocre as.

The Immediate Music track they used for the first trailer is way better than most of the Sawano score.

Well to be fair it was one of immediate music best tracks in my eyes, Also what would you consider one of Sawno's better tracks not to familiar with him.

But ya I agree with what u said still. Never was a big Zimmer fan in general not bad but not great.

OMG....This is so damn good for a female version of the OP

Apache Thunder · 2013-06-30, 12:44

I got the OST now and it seems they don't have the track that played when Mikasa discovered Eren was alive. (that Mikasa crying scene). Why they not have that one.

There's one that has similar sounds used in it, but it sounds different then the one used in the anime. Will there be a second OST released once the show finishes airing?

Yeah I guess that's true, it's not quite eye water.

carmolita · 2013-06-30, 14:39

I just heard the entire ost - and I am so in love w/it ( especially the song vogel im kafig by cyua !!! ...Swano Hiroyuki really out did himself on this one .. A lot of the musical scores are so reminiscent of his gundam unicorn compositions..it seems that he loves the element of surprise....I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up composing for Hollywood movies

Spoiler for 'official' German Lyrics: Der innerer Reichtum der Leute ist wie Licht bunt, durch Farbglas hereinzuscheinen Das angenehme tägliche Leben ist wie ein warmes Kerzenlicht Die sehr weite grüne Erde Das reiche schöne Wasser Die grandiose Natur sorgt immer noch für ihre Kinder Hoffentlich können wir es irgendwann verstehen Wir gehen zur anderen Seite des Horizontes Hoffentlich können wir es irgendwann verstehen Wir gehen festen Schrittes Alles Lebendige stirbt eines Tages Ob wir zum Sterben bereit sind oder nicht, der Tag kommt sicher Ist das der Engel, der vom dämmernden Himmel hinunter flog? Ist das der Teufel, der aus der Felsenspalte heraus kroch? Tränen, Ärger, Mitleid, Grausamkeit, Frieden, Chaos, Glaube, Verrat Wir werden gegen unser Schicksal ankämpfen Wir dürfen uns nicht in unser Schicksal ergeben Mit Trauer und Entscheidung im Herzen zeigen wir den Willen weiterzugehen Niemand darf eigensinnig seines Lebens beraubt werden And now my translation. I do it as literally as possible, but some things simply sound so ridiculously grammatically wrong that I can only hope that I understood it right myself: Spoiler for English translation: The inner wealth of the people is to shine like colorful light through colored glass The comfortable daily life is like a warm candlelight The very wide green earth The plentifully available beautiful water The grandiose nature still takes care of her children Hopefully we can understand it someday We go the the other side of the horizon Hopefully we can understand it someday We move with a solid pace All living things will perish one day Whether we are ready or not, that day will come eventually Is that the angel, that descended from the dawning sky? Is that the devil, that crawled out of the crevice? Tears, anger, compassion, cruelty, peace, chaos, belief, treason We will fight against our fate We mustn't yield to our fate With sadness and determination in the heart We will continue to follow the path of our Will No one may be robbed of his life selfishly Well this is it... more or less.
