Translation
Bilingual
Who are you, he said
To the woman before his eyes
I did not see you coming
And so I'm quite surprised
To find that I can see the sky
Looking through your eyes
I came across the void, said she
Yes, I'm a stranger here
And I have need this moment
To whisper in your ear
A favour I must ask of thee
And so will you draw near?
She breathed herself like whiskey
Into his waiting brain
All in amaze he turned and asked
The lady of her name
You know me from your waking dreams
Of when you were a boy
I am the King of Elfland's Daughter
Now friend, will you drop everything
And come away with me
Along the rocky cliffs so high
And then across the sea
Come and join our faerie band
In our dance among the trees
I will, he said, and took her hand
And so they journeyed far
And called a dance together
Between the daylight and the dark
And if you should go seeking them
You'll find them dancing still
She breathed herself like whiskey
Into his waiting heart
And in the end, it mattered not
They came from worlds apart
He a mortal man and she
Quite something else again
She was the King of Elfland's Daughter
