Under the shady green Leaves of Yggdrasil Three Norns spin a thread so coarse Fates of men, Gods they weave The fairest maiden of the kingdom Hair of silver, snow and ice Lives in the heart of every warrior But one filled her heart's desires With the fever of love's fire ♪ The course of true love Never did run smooth How much longer can they endure? Life apart, bitter youth Lost in the land of a thousand forests Far away from her true love He kissed her lips, so mellow and rosy She dreams 'til the sun rise up And then daylight blinds her heart ♪ The fairest maiden of the kingdom Hair of silver, snow and ice Lives in the heart of every warrior But one filled her heart's desires With the fever of love's fire
