Hugtatt [English translation]

The thought wants to fly tonight

to dress itself in feathers, take hold of its wings

to seek streams, to follow a pleasure

to find a circle, an obscure meadow

the blood shall pound to the elves' song

Sing in me, dance in me, draw me completely in

whirl me around in a moonlight spin

Let me forget, let me dream, let me die

Disappear in the haze of an elven island.

The thought wants to fly tonight

I lie awake astray and tired

Hover tense between desire and sense

I seek an echo, a soft resonance

I long for a circle of elves' dance

Sing in me, dance in me, draw me completely in

whirl me around in a moonlight spin

let me forget, let me dream, let me die

disappear in the haze of an elven island.

Sing in me, dance in me, draw me completely in

whirl me around in a moonlight spin

Let me forget, let me dream, let me die

Disappear in the haze of an elven island
