Elleskudt [English translation]

In the pine forest so magnificent and grand

A small, elf-shot girl1 lives there

Her hair is made of ice crystals

But when the darkness calls, the ice starts shattering

Little eyes following me now

Little eyes following me now

He hears the call far away on the mountain

The beautiful betrothed, she sang herself to death

He ran towards the forest to save his bride

But she never got away from the underworld

Little eyes following me now

Little eyes following me now
