In diesen heil¹gen Hallen - Sarastro's aria from Die Zauberflöte

In diesen heil'gen Hallen		Within these hallowed halls
Kennt man die Rache nicht.		One knows not  revenge.
Und ist ein Mensch gefallen,		And should a person have fallen,
Führt Liebe ihn zur Pflicht.		Love will guide him to duty.
Dann wandelt er an Freundes Hand	Then wanders he on the hand of a friend
Vergnügt und froh ins bess're Land.	Cheerful and happy into a better land.

In diesen heil'gen Mauern,		Within these hallowed walls,
Wo Mensch den Menschen liebt,		Where  human loves the human,
Kann kein Verräter lauern,		No traitor can lurk,
Weil man dem Feind vergibt.		Because one forgives the enemy.
Wen solche Lehren nicht erfreun,	Whomever these lessons do not please,
Verdient nicht ein Mensch zu sein. 	Deserves not to be a human being.
