We who are old yet fair of face

Thousands of years this world did grace

Beneath the earth away from men
深埋地下 远离生灵
Our Middle Kingdom it lies hidden

With sword in hand and our shields by our sides
手持利剑 盾牌庇护
We march in hoards we will never subside
我们行军成团 从未溃败
Our D Danann form has passed with time
我辈教徒的王消逝于旧世代
But still we love music and still we love wine
但我们仍然热爱着那音乐与美酒
We are of the forest we are of the earth
来自林间 来自大地
Our heads full of knowledge our ways full of mirth
我们欢歌笑语 学识广博
We know all the answers to questions unasked

We live in the light with no fear of the dark
生于光明 无惧黑暗
It must be said we have dark evil breeds
我们有着黑暗的种子这不可置否
Who plague mankind with their mischievous deeds
用瘟疫来惩罚人们邪恶的行径
The Phooka the Merrow the wailing Bean-shee

Are hideous creatures as dark as can be
他们都是可怖的至暗生物
Avoid the lone thorn tree that grows in the field
远避田野里孤独的荆棘树
Do not cut it down with the axe that you wield

It coarses magic from branch to root

And woe to he who eats its fruit

Of itself the tree did grow
在精灵们撒下的魔法之下
From faerie magic cast long ago
荆棘树自然生长
Therefore we bid you to let it stand

We who are old

Immortal and feared

In the dead of night see us dance on the hills
夜晚的死寂中你能看见我们在山丘起舞
On fiddles and flutes we play jigs and reels
用小提琴与长笛弹奏着律动的歌
The sky is ablaze with a myriad of light
无数的光亮燃烧着天空
Our faerie music is heard through the night
精灵们的歌声响彻夜晚
We who are old yet fair of face
我们拥有尚未老去的颜容
Thousands of years this world did grace
千年来受这世上的恩泽
But modern man and his cynical ways
但现世人和他们妒俗的方式
Are bringing us to the end of our days
正逐渐带来我们的末日…
