The Nøkk, he sits a-playing
Can you hear the fiddle go?
From the river you hear the melody
It's the evil that here reigns
He lures womenfolk to him
It is you that hear him best
He is playing to catch you
Hear the melody coming from west
If you go where the tones come from
He will be lurking there
He can change his shape
Be like an eagle that roams
From the river you hear the melody
It is evil that reigns
It is you that hear him best
He is playing to catch you
Can you hear the melody coming from west?
