[The dwarves and the black elves live below the ground and in stumps and stones. Among all creatures in the universe they are the foremost blacksmiths. Deep down in the underworld they forge the treasures of gods. They use the metals from the veins of earth to create the most precious things. It has been said that this folk may be able to teach you the secret of alchemy and the knowledge of making gold out of earth.]
H�ret ihr der H�mmer Hall?
H�r der H�mmer Hall!
Ivaldens S�hne sind es, h�r
Sie schmieden den gleissend' Schatz
Der G�tter G�ttlichkeit
Schwarzalbenheims Gew�rm
Schmiedet solch schimmerndes Gold
Der G�tter Glorie gestaltend
Aus der Erde Ge�der
Tief unten drunter Stein und Wurz
Findest Du dieses selten' Volk
Der Tiefe und lass den eifr'gen Schmied
Schweissen shlau deines Wunschses Bild
Unter unterdes Fjorgyn Haut
In der Erde verborg nem Herzen
Arbeiten Zwerge der Unterwelt
Mit der G�tter gar gl�nzendem Gold
Draupnir, Mj�lnir und Gullburste
Kunst des Schwarzalben
Brokk da Eitre und Sindre
Lass den Hammer schlagem nochmals
Schwarzalbenheims Gew�rm
Schmiedet solch schimmerndes Gold
Der G�tter Glorie gestaltend
Aus der Erde Ge�der
In den Tunneln und den H�hlen
Gleich 'nem Myzelium im Untergrund
Treiben sie voran die Alchemie
Die der Erde Fr�chte Schein verleihn
Erinnerungen erschaffend
Aus weiter Ferne zu Goldene
Tr�ume des Morgen zu schaffen
G�tter Runen aus der Erde Tiefe
Sonn' erbl�hn!
[English translation]
World of the Black Elves
[Gold of the underworld]
Do you hear the hammers' echo?
Hear the the hammers' echo!
It's Ivalden's sons, listen,
They forge the gleaming treasure
The gods' divineness
Schwarzalbenheim's worms
Forge so gleaming gold
Shaping the glory of the gods
From the veins of the earth
Deep beneath stones and roots
You find this rare folk
Of the depth and let the eager smith
Smartly weld the picture of your wish
Meanwhile beneath Fjorgyn's skin
In the earth's hidden heart
The dwarves of the underworld work
With the gleaming gold of the gods
Draupnir, Mj�lnir and Gullburste
Art of the Black Elves
Brokk da Eitre and Sindre
Let the hammer strike again
Schwarzalbenheim's worms
Forge so gleaming gold
Shaping the glory of the gods
From the veins of the earth
In the tunnels and the caves
Like a mycelium in the underground
They press ahead the Alchemy
Which gives shine to the earth's fuits
Creating memories
From far distance to create golden
Dreams of tomorrow
The gods' runes from the depth's
Sun of the earth blossom |
