lyrics

They live in a cabin made of wood
Where a dim light always shines
in the middle of the moor

She reads in a maple rocking chair
But the girl demands the story
That she needs to hear again

Forth and back and forth
So on and so on
in the middle of the moor

They wait but the good men are all gone
And the girl lying on the floor
while nights don’t seem to come

Forth and back and forth
So on and son

On and on and on...

-------------

Viven en una cabaña hecha de madera
donde siempre brilla una tenue luz
en medio del páramo.

Ella lee en su mecedora de arce,
pero la niña exige el cuento
que necesita volver a escuchar.

Adelante y atrás,
una y otra vez,
en medio del páramo.

Esperan, pero todos los hombres buenos se han ido
y la niña, tumbada en el suelo,
mientras las noches parecen no llegar nunca.

Adelante y atrás,
una y otra vez.
