Der Elfenritter (Anglish: 'The Elfin Knight') is a traditional folk song suspected to have originating in Derthalen some time around during the Third Century of the Second Millenia based off of references to it either by name or by fragments of its lyrics. The earliest surviving example of the song in its entirety comes from a song book published in A.I. 572.M2.
Lyrics
Anglish translation |
---|
There stands three sentries on yonder hill |
If I had my arrow in their chests |
If you want to live free follow me |
Without a seam, stich, or thread |
You must dye it in your own blood |
You must hang it on yonder tree |
If I make a standard for you |
My kin hath bore no small child |
You must sow her with a golden seed |
You must bath the child with milk of bees |
You must give it immortality |
And if now you succeed in all this work |
