Elves’ hill
I laid my head on the elves’ hill
My eyes slumbered
Two young elves came walking there
They wanted gladly to talk with me
“Stand up, you beautiful maiden
If you wish to set the dance moving”
Every little bird started to tweet in the valley
“Stand up, you beautiful maiden
If you wish to set the dance moving”
Every little bird started to tweet in the valley
One started to versify a song
So beautifully over all the women
The violent stream nearby, it stilled
And started to flow as it used to
“Stand up, you beautiful maiden
If you wish to set the dance moving”
Every little bird started to tweet in the valley
“Stand up, you beautiful maiden
If you wish to set the dance moving”
Every little bird started to tweet in the valley
“Then we’d like to teach you the runes
And from that, to read and to write”
They danced in and out
All in that elven journey
“Then we’d like to teach you the runes
And from that, to read and to write”
“Stand up, you beautiful maiden
If you wish to set the dance moving”
Every little bird started to tweet in the valley
“Then we’d like to teach you the runes
And from that, to read and to write”
“Stand up, you beautiful maiden
If you wish to set the dance moving”
Every little bird started to tweet in the valley
“Then we’d like to teach you the runes
And from that, to read and to write”
“Stand up, you beautiful maiden
If you wish to set the dance moving”
Every little bird started to tweet in the valley
They danced in and out
All in that elven journey
They danced in and out
All in that elven journey
They danced in and out
