Haste not thine wisdom, for the hollow is ta'en -
By whom, know I not; 'lack! am I of twain -
And as a crux - cede I my words -
Fro my heart wilt thou ne'er
Have I been 'sooth sinsyne.
Be left without - come!
Thine voice is oh so sweet, I speer thine pine,
Ryking for me:
Ryking for thee;
"List and heed", thou say'st
Wistful, whistful -
Chancing to lure.
Chancing to lure,
Skirl and skreigh, but for thine ears, aye, lown 'tis -
Dodge na 'way herefro, do come here in eath!
Mayhap lured by the scent of lote -
'Od! - the foetid - eft hie back I mote;
For what I did my soul atrounced,
How I wish for thee again,
O! do believe me, 'twasn't a frounce.
Will I give thee it: Troth.
Thine voice is oh so sweet, I speer thine pine,
Ryking for me:
Ryking for thee;
"List and heed", thou say'st
Wistful, whistful -
Chancing to lure.
Chancing to lure,
Skirl and skreigh, but for thine ears, aye, lown 'tis -
Dodge na 'way herefro, do come here in eath!
By whom, know I not; 'lack! am I of twain -
And as a crux - cede I my words -
Fro my heart wilt thou ne'er
Have I been 'sooth sinsyne.
Be left without - come!
Thine voice is oh so sweet, I speer thine pine,
Ryking for me:
Ryking for thee;
"List and heed", thou say'st
Wistful, whistful -
Chancing to lure.
Chancing to lure,
Skirl and skreigh, but for thine ears, aye, lown 'tis -
Dodge na 'way herefro, do come here in eath!
Mayhap lured by the scent of lote -
'Od! - the foetid - eft hie back I mote;
For what I did my soul atrounced,
How I wish for thee again,
O! do believe me, 'twasn't a frounce.
Will I give thee it: Troth.
Thine voice is oh so sweet, I speer thine pine,
Ryking for me:
Ryking for thee;
"List and heed", thou say'st
Wistful, whistful -
Chancing to lure.
Chancing to lure,
Skirl and skreigh, but for thine ears, aye, lown 'tis -
Dodge na 'way herefro, do come here in eath!

Her: "Don't jump to conclusions,
the emptiness inside is taken over, Am I in love with you?
but I don't know who you are.
I swear from my heart that since I met you I've stopped luring men through song."
Him: "you'll never be left without my love, come."
Chorus:
Him: Your voice is so sweet
Her: I ask you to long for me
Him: Trying to draw me in
Her: Trying to draw you in.
Him: You want me to listen and obey you.
Her: Silent, yearning
Him: Hoping to lure
Her: Hoping to lure
Desperately singing, this song is for your ears only.
Don't run away, but come to me with ease.
Her: Perhaps lured here by the scent of the trees - An unexplainable phenomenena that a creature as evil as me, can suddenly have substance growing within
("'Od - the foetid - eft hie back i mote" Basically this is complicated and can't be translated directly at all. Od was once something used to describe something indescribable. "The foetid" she is describing herself as foul "eft hie back I mote" she is saying how the tiny bit of substance left inside of her is growing quickly like a tadpole growing into a newt)
What I did was like a punishment to my soul, but believe me, it wasn't a trick.
Him: I will marry you.
Don't be hasty
For the emptiness is filled
By whom, I know not,
But now we are one
Her: It is this, I give you my word, I have been true to you since
Him: From my heart, you will never be apart
Him: Your voice is so sweet,
Her: I ask for your desire
Him: Reaching for me
Her: Reaching for you
Him: "Listen and obey", you say
Her: Whistful, whistful
Him: I risk being drawn in
Her: You risk being drawn in
I sing desperately, and my song is for you, only
Don't run from me, but come here in ease
Perhaps drawn by the scent of nettles
Od! A fetid smell! I must hasten away
Her: For my deed, my soul is defeated
Him: How I wish for you again
Her: O! Do believe me, it wasn't a farce
Him: I pledge to you my loyalty and love.
And "I speer thine pine", it means "I ask for your longing" (or so I read).
Ok, it has something to do with Sirens, but i don't really understand. It's... Mysterious.
Liv is Great!
If you want the short version, the song is a Siren's song, which the legends talk about a Siren singing to lure someone who will be ultimately led to his grave.
Here's my translation--
Do not rush your thinking For the hollow is taken (I don't understand the second part's context...)
I do not know who took it alack, I am of Twain (again, context, but twain refers to one of a pair)
As the heart, I surrender to my words (Crux, reffering ot the essential part or core of something, and cede, meaning surrender to)
*From my heart you will never
I have been, since that time (Synsine meaning since that time)
*Be left alone-- come!
*Your voice is oh so sweet
I steal your affection
*Calling for me (Okay, so I couldn't find the definition of Ryking, but that's what I gathered from context)
Calling for you
*Listen, and heed, you say
wistful, wistful (in a longing or melancholy way)
*Chancing to lure
Chancing to lure
Skirl and Skreigh (to emit a high, shrill tone or to play music. I'm going to go with high pitched music) But this song is for your ears alone
Do not run away, but come here
Perhaps, lured by the scent of lote (lote is a hardwood tree)
(Okay.... This line I had the hardest time with... All I could find was that foetid meant having foul odor and hie means to hasten or quicken.
What I did was my soul's calling
*How I wish for you again
Oh, do believe me, it wasn't a trick
*Will I give you troth (a pledge, that they'll always be true. Think betrothal)
*Your voice is oh so sweet
I steal your affection
*Calling for me (Okay, so I couldn't find the definition of Ryking, but that's what I gathered from context)
Calling for you
*Listen, and heed, you say
wistful, wistful (in a longing or melancholy way)
*Chancing to lure
Chancing to lure
Skirl and Skreigh (to emit a high, shrill tone or to play music. I'm going to go with high pitched music) But this song is for your ears alone
Do not run away, but come here
