For where are you riding, my friends?
Take a look! Can you see my face?
Embrace your shining son,
His mind is leaving him,
His soul is crying, and his eyes are full of despair.

Listen to child's sentence,
Listen and trust,
Lips of him are trying to warn you.
Because I'm here -
The master of all, the king of this place! My forest sang me about your coming. Did it sing to you about me?

For where are you journeying, my guests?
Don't be afraid, I'm here for warning! Your child is doomed!
The martyr's soul is crying like a bird!

Like a bird in my house!
Did you hear its singing?
Did you see the dance of shadows?
(Repeats twice)

Come play with me! My adorable daughters shall attend your son so nicely!
(Repeats twice)

"Oh, father, my father!
Thou daughters will sing me to sleep, they will dance me to die!
Hold me closer, don't let go!"

For where are you riding, my friends?
Take a look! Can you see my face?
Embrace your shining son,
His mind is leaving him,
His soul is crying, and his eyes are full of despair.

*"Dem Vater grausets, er reitet geschwind,
Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind,
Erreicht den Hof mit Mühe und Not;
In seinen Armen das Kind war tot."
