Translation of the song Elleskudt artist Myrkur

Danish

Elleskudt

English translation

I nåleskoven så prægtig og stor

In the pine forest so magnificent and grand

En liden elleskudt pige der bor

A small, elf-shot girl1 lives there

Af iskrystaller er hendes hår

Her hair is made of ice crystals

Men når mørket kalder isen slå skår

But when the darkness calls, the ice starts shattering

Little eyes following me now

Han hører kaldet langt ude på fjeld

He hears the call far away on the mountain

Den væne fæstemø hun sang sig ihjel

The beautiful betrothed, she sang herself to death

Han løb mod skoven for at frelse sin brud

He ran towards the forest to save his bride

Men fra underverdenen slap hun aldrig ud

But she never got away from the underworld

Little eyes following me now
