Elves Hill
I laid my head near the elves hill
My eyes they found a slumber
Then came two young elves walking bye
Who gladly wanted to talk with me.
“Stand up, beautiful maiden,
If you want to set the dance alight”
Every little bird started singing in the valley
“Stand up, beautiful maiden,
If you want to set the dance alight”
Every little bird started singing in the valley
Then one started to sing a tune
So beautifully over all women
The raging stream nearby they stilled
And flowed like once before
“Stand up, beautiful maiden,
If you want to set the dance alight”
Every little bird started singing in the valley
“Stand up, beautiful maiden,
If you want to set the dance alight”
Every little bird started singing in the valley
“Then we will teach you the runes
From that, to read and write”
They danced out, then danced in
All along that elven journey
“Then we will teach you the runes
From that, to read and write”
“Stand up, beautiful maiden,
If you want to set the dance alight”
Every little bird started singing in the valley
“Then we will teach you the runes
From that, to read and write”
“Stand up, beautiful maiden,
If you want to set the dance alight”
Every little bird started singing in the valley
“Then we will teach you the runes
From that, to read and write”
“Stand up, beautiful maiden,
If you want to set the dance alight”
Every little bird started singing in the valley
They danced out, then danced in
All along that elven journey
They danced out, then danced in
All along that elven journey
They danced out, then danced in
