Nøkken [English translation]

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?
