Huldra

One girl likes to dress in red
with ribbons in her hair
she dances like a summer breeze
as light as morning air
The other likes to dress in white
and run so speedily
and sing so sweetly she can charm
the birds down from the trees

One girl likes to catch your eye
and quickly look away
she teases with a gentle smile
and holds you in her sway
The other likes to take your hand
and lead you through the night
and lay you down upon a bed
of purest blossom white

Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home

Fall prey to seduction
And satisfy them well
they'll entice you every night
until you break the spell
Loveliness will face you
but they'll never let you see
from behind each girl's a hollow trunk
a blackened, rotting tree

The red girl will pluck out your eyes
and wear them as her own
she will make you beg and cry
and wish you stayed at home
The white girl will cut out your tongue
and sing a tune so fine
they have lured many men
and left them mute and blind

Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home

Never take a glass of wine
with these sisters two.
They'll tear apart your body
'til there's nothing left of you.
The red girl will drain your blood
to dye her dresses in.
The white girl will carve your bones
and wear your teeth and skin.

Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home

Ocken kati, klensint lur!
Trö rätt öve alvre te mä i finsuser,
skaap sä o lov,Senna sir han baaksin o rompen min,
ank på, o gool om aglit fulskap.
Nu e de iint så dapert me'n,
me buksia i bonka som en illdöing varevii dá.
Loven e gó, men hållen e bätter
