Von den Elben [2013] [English translation]

My song wants to tell of the Elves,

I wish now to recount of nobility and a pure heart.

On a long journey with the fairest of all women

I have seen her/their* magic change the world.

Refrain:

And now I am beginning to understand her/their essence.

And, like the birds, I wait for the first song of the morning,

So that my body may perish full of delight.

My heart was consumed by the Elves.

For never can such purity prevail in this world.

I still see her/their bright skin

I still hear her/their evening song

Her/their voice with the soft sound I have loved.
