Lyrics
Who rides through the night
So late in the wild?
It is the father with his only child.
He rides with the boy fast in his arms.
He holds him tightly, he holds him warm.
My son, oh why are you shaking with fear?
Oh father, can't you see?
The Erlking is near.
The evil Ehrlking with eyes burning red.
My son, it's only in your head.
My dear sweet child, come play with me.
I'll teach you nice games, so much fun you'll see.
I'll crown you with flowers so fine to behold
My mother's spinning you a shirt made of gold.
Oh father, father, can you not hear the Ehlrking whispering into my ear?
Take heart, have courage, my son.
It's only the wind and the leaves up above.
My lovely little child, won't you come with me?
Oh, my beautiful daughters will fawn over thee.
My beautiful daughters will sing all the time
And dance every night on the banks of the Rhine
And dance every night on the banks of the Rhine.
Oh father, father, can you not see?
The Ehlrking's daughters are waiting for me.
My son, my son, only now do I see
The Erlking is chasing his heart through the trees.
I love you child and I can run faster than your horse
And if you're not willing, I'll take you by force.
Oh father, father, he's taking me away.
The evil Ehrlking has made me his prey.
The father shivers, his horse runs wild.
He held in his arms the terrified child.
At last, they reach the safe homestead.
In his arms, the boy was dead.
lovely instrument . but iam want to say thats a no go , still a long past torture here in school for all once upon a time .
