Der boede en bonde lidt sønden for vor å
alt hvad han havde at ønske kunne han få
af sønner har han fire af døtre har han to
-og jeg længes ud i alle mine dage-
Der boede en pige i åens stride strøm
aldrig man glemmer en skikkelse så skøn,
om natten hun listede sig ind i bondens drøm,
-og jeg længes ud i alle mine dage -
I den årle morgen måtte bonden hende se
men strømmen var for stærk, og gangeren gled
-og jeg længes ud i alle mine dage -
Der boede en bonde lidt sønden for vor å
alt hvad han havde at ønske kunne han få
Man aldrig mere bonden og elverpigen så

af sønner har han fire af døtre har han to

There are a few problems with the translation of this old Danish ballad offered below. I am not a native English speaker, so it is a bit difficult for me to convey the mood of the lyrics that were written in the 1800’s, but here is my try at it. The tune is as old or even older.
Sorten Muld (the band name means “black soil” in ancient Danish) had great success in the latter half of the 1990’ies with this cd and the one that followed. All songs were folktronica versions of old ballads.
THE FARMER AND THE ELF MAID
A farmer lived a bit south of our creek
that had all he could wish for
of sons he has four, of daughters he has two
- and I am longing for all my days –
A maid lived in the rapid current of the creek
never would you forget such a beautiful figure
in the night she sneaked into the farmer’s dream
- and I am longing for all my days -
In the early morning the farmer had to see her
but the current was too strong and the steed slipped
- and I am longing for all my days -
A farmer lived a bit south of our creek
that had all he could wish for
never again the farmer and the elf maid were seen
- and I am longing for all my days -

Just love this band, and how they bring these old Nordic tales back to life...

The only song in Danish on my playlist.
And speaking of Danish, a couple years ago I watched the French silent movie "The Passion of Joan of Arc." (A fabulous movie by the way.) I was at the theater early, and the tech director said that the subtitles weren't in English. I know decent conversational French, so I volunteered to translate along through the movie. I watched about the first five minutes, and realized that the subtitles were actually in Danish. WTH? The director was Danish, and the film was first released in Copenhagen. "Original director's cut."

After hearing another Sorten Muld song on RP, I downloaded the album. It's wonderful even tho I have no idea what they are saying. I believe it's entitled simply III. Definitely recommend.

here a farmer lived a little bit from ours
He could have everything he wished for
Of sons he has four of daughters, he has two
-and I'm longing for all my days-
There lived a girl in the rushing river
never forget a figure so beautiful,
at night she sneaked into the peasant's dream,
and I'm longing for all my days -
In that year, the farmer had to see her
but the power was too strong and the farmer slipped
and I'm longing for all my days -
There a farmer lived a little bit for ours
He could have everything he had to wish for
You're never the farmer and the elder like that again

Nice language, nice song :-).
Ulla Bendixen, the presumed vocalist on this (per Wikipedia), closely approaches Karen Matheson of Capercaillie in velvety vocal purity.

I think Bill is doing a good job finding some of these cool songs from all over the planet...he is chipping away at a massive floating iceberg, however—-there is so much great music from other countries out there and and it defies the dreaded 'world music' category—-its essence is derived from its very locality; not some marketing or labeling scheme, not some CD you find at Starbucks or crammed into a Rough Guiide CD.

This is a test. I typed in WORD and then changed the font and color and will paste into RP. In purple. AND it changed font and size and color back to normal. Lazarus has some skills.

Such a beauty was seldom seen
During the night she crept into the man's dreams
and my life is full of longing By the early morning he had to see her
But the current was too strong
and his steed slipped and fell
and my life is full of longing There lived a man just south of the river
He had everything he could wish for
No one ever saw the man nor the Elf-girl again
and my life is full of longing

And since I am finally writing to you, I just want to say, that this radio station is the only radio station that I have managed to hear up to 12 hours in a row. I never get bored, only fascinated and get to widen my horizon! Wauw...

Its hard not to like this soft sound, still i often wonder with foreign lyrics whether or not i am lucky to be missing out. Love the sound of the voice though.

Didn't expect Sorten Muld to be played on RP. You rise in my admiration and on my favorite stations list.

Does the narrator(singer) sing from the view point of the man's abandoned wife?
I'm not danish (but close), but I believe the title of the song is 'The farmer and the fairygirl'. Very scandinavian folk-music-ish. Nice to hear :-)

I have no idea if this is deep house, drum & bass, or whatever the shit the kids are calling it these days, but I will say this: on a rainy Tuesday afternoon, still a couple hours away from the end of the work day, this is a pretty cool song.
