lyrics

In times immemorial
In the shades beyond the forest
Lived the Big One isolated and lonely
There were nobody else could be seen
He answered to the name Bodo
And when he saw her, for the first time
He desired the heart of the beautiful lady
But she smiled him away...

When I roam through the forest
And think about the tales
That my grandsire told me
Legends and tales from earlier bygone days
I wish I could be this lighthearted child
And make them alive

There came the day,
The princess Brunhilda went for a ride
In the dark, deep, misty woodland
After a short time, she bursted upon the Big One
She gave a smile and passed him by
But he took the chance and tried to capture her
There was only one way to escape
She claps spurs to her horse and bounced upon the valley
In the opposing baron ground
The Big One obeyed her
But he was so ponderous and fell down the canyon
And was turned into a sharped black dog

When I roam through the forest
And think about the tales
That my grandsire told me
Legends and tales from earlier bygone days
I wish I could be this lighthearted child
And amazed listen to ancient times
When the giant an his princess
Were still alive

After the hooves have reached the other side
And a horseshoe was left behind
The princess was safe and sound
But she had lost her clunky crown
Brunhilda took a scared look into the abyss
By the riverside
She saw the giant was turned into stone
Relieved she rode away

When I roam through the forest
And think about the tales
That my grandsire told me
Legends and tales from earlier bygone days
I wish I could be this lighthearted child
And amazed listen to ancient times
When the giant an his princess
Were still alive

In times immemorial, the river is named after Bodo
The crown is cursed forever and ever
Nobody will recover
