Waltz of Astrid
Don't you remember how the sun shone when I gained your loyalty?And how the meadow was verdant when I seeked into Astrid's embrace.
Oh, won't you be a loving father, because this is your child.
She could grow up in her father's care, or otherwise she'll be left out in the cold.
Why did you trust the games of spring, because I truly didn't think it through
I already have given my hand, but not for Astrid
For I am a noble man, I won't start looking after your child.
No law binds me to you, no matter how you would like it to.
Oh, father and mother, loved ones, forgive me.
Have mercy on my small child, take her with you.
Don't you dare to show yourself in front of us, you despicable and miserable.
Since you ruined your parents' name just like that.
Oh, father and mother, give your mercy, since I am a young one still.
I can't manage on my own, I see the death upon
You were our loveliest child, now your soul is unclean.
You can't be our child anymore, just go, goodbye!
You were sitting here in the warmth of hearth, the evil on the roads drove me here.
Alone with my little child, may I stay with you?
This house is not for a drifter, keep on walking.
Who tells us to give shelter for every despicable with children!
She went through the snow and waded the ice, no matter of storm and cold.
She travelled til' exhaustion, nobody took her in.
If she got a piece of bread or clothing, it was given to the child, though she herself suffered from hunger and cold.
Now the storm is on and blowing, she looks at her child.
The little one cries and struggles, the gruesome forest sways.
She took a sash from her waist, tied around the little one's neck.
You don't need to suffer anymore, my child, let this be the farewells
And the dead pale cheeks she kisses one more time.
Now the child is fine and little one quiets down.
When spring and warm weather arrived again, and the ice of lakes melted away, the iron gates of prison stayed shut after the incident with Astrid.
