Karl Ridderbusch - Götterdämmerung ~ Hier sitz' ich zur Wacht
"Here sit I on guard, watching the house,
warding the hall from the foe.
Winds are wafting Gibich's son,
afar to his wooing he fares.
His fate is held by a hero bold,
for Gunther's sake great peril he braves.
His rightful bride he will bring to the Rhine,
and with her he brings me...the ring!
Ye sons of freedom, merry companions,
sail ye now on your way.
You think him base, yet ye all shall serve
the Nibelung's son."
