She fell in love with a swan Her eyes were filled with feathers
He filled her with song In the reedy river In the reedy river
She in her boat, long hours He, in his royal plumage
She threw him some flowers In the reedy river In the reedy river
Black was the night and starry She loosened up her garments
And let fall her hair In the reedy river In the reedy river
In the reedy river In the reedy river
Sadly they mourn inside Lost in evening twilight
Two swans glide and fly O'er the reedy river O'er the reedy river
She fell in love with a swan...
