Sorten Muld - Bonden og Elverpigen

There lived a man just south of the river
Who had everything he could wish for
Of sons he had four and of daughters two
­ and my life is full of longing ­

There lived a girl by the rivers swift current
Such a beauty was seldom seen
During the night she crept into the mans dreams
­ and my life is full of longing ­

By the early morning he had to see her
But the current was too strong
and his steed slipped and fell
­ and my life is full of longing ­

There lived a man just south of the river
He had everything he could wish for
No one ever saw the man nor the Elf-girl again
­ and my life is full of longing ­
