Oof. All a bit last minute but does anyone have a good English translation of/reflection on "Freude, schöner Götterfunken" -- the text from Beethoven's 9th? Only one verse.
I have: "Joy, beautiful spark of divinity, Daughter from Elysium, We enter, drunk with fire, Heavenly One, thy sanctuary! Your magics join again What custom strictly divided; All people become brothers Where your gentle wing abides."
This is CLUNKY. Anyone happy to paraphrase?
I need to keep the word "Elysium" because the piece is going to have that title.

I like this version of the lyrics, I could sing to them!
