Minstrels sing and bards proclaim:
âwhole kingdom has to celebrate
the great King who marries a nymph
coming from the Elvish land.
Ethereal shape, immortal soul
Wonderful daughter of the woods.
He is a strong and wise King
his sword doesnât know defeatâ.
The elves came from the forest
To punish the humanâs arrogance
to avoid the sacrilegious union.
Their murderous rage
fell on village likeân hurricane:
âNo mercy for the sinners!
Sacred laws have been broken,
weâll wash shame in their blood!â
âLike ears of corn, one by oneâ¦
they must be all mowed!!!â
Alone among the human deads
Protected by your lover, youâve survived.
To accept you, was the only guilt of these people
and now, they'r all dead.
Lookinâ for love in a humanâs heart
Like a sweet and crazy hope.
You have found a cruel cold death,
Caused by your peopleâs steel.
Oh fatherâ¦
my heart is crying but Iâve done what I had to do
what have you done?
the laws are immutable and you know this
They have no guilt
itâs your fault but I couldnât allow:
I loved him,
you would have been sentenced forever.
why donât you understand?
I did this âcause I love you⦠my daughter
