Here spruces are trembling, their paws in mid-air
And birds chirp their songs though in fright
You live in a forest, enchanted and wild
From where no escape is in sight.

May the cherry trees hang out to dry in the wind
May the lilacs rain down from the trees
Despite all, I will take you away from this place
To a place where you will hear reeds.

Your world has been hidden for thousands of years
by wizards from me and the rest
And you think that nothing compares in the world
Your enchanted forest is best.

If the leaves have no dew in the morning, who cares,
Let the moon and the cloudy sky quarrel
Despite all, I will take you away from this place
To a seaside view, in a bright tower.

What day of the week, what hour of the day
When cautiously, you’ll come to meet me
Then in my arms I will take you away
We’ll be hidden from all so completely.

I will steal you away if your soul will say, "Yes,"
Not in vain did I waste all my power
I hope you’ll agree to our bliss in a hut
If someone took the palace’s tower.
