English lyrics:
Olaf rode along the cliffs,
He's led astray,
He stills himself,
He comes across an elf-dwelling before him,
There a red flame burned.
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs,
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs ahead.
There an elven maid came out,
He's led astray,
He stills himself,
She was not a Christian dear,
There a red flame burned.
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs,
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs ahead.
"Welcome, Olaf Lilyrose!"
He's led astray,
He stills himself,
"Come to the cliffs and live with us."
There a red flame burned.
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs,
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs ahead.
"I do not want to live with elves,"
He's led astray,
He stills himself,
"I would rather believe in my Christ."
There a red flame burned.
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs,
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs ahead.
She went to her chest,
He's led astray,
He stills himself,
Took up a sharp sword,
There a red flame burned.
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs,
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs ahead.
She stabbed the sword into his side,
He's led astray,
He stills himself,
Olaf is hurt,
There a red flame burned.
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs,
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs ahead.
Olaf saw blood from his heart,
He's led astray,
He stills himself,
Going down to his horse's hoof,
There a red flame burned.
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs,
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs ahead.
He suffered only three hours,
He's led astray,
He stills himself,
Olaf was a pale corpse,
There a red flame burned.
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs,
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs ahead.
I will turn my song to the cross,
He's led astray,
He stills himself,
Saint Mary be with us,
There a red flame burned.
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs,
Gentle was the breeze beneath the cliffs ahead.
