Oh, how beautiful she was,
the fierce and elegant swan
Oh, my child, come here closer
And hear the tale of the elegant swan.

She swam by the shores of the ink-black rivage,
the fierce and elegant swan!
And on her soft and delicate plumage,
droplets like dark tears ran
And like a soft and delicate mirage,
She stole the heart of many a man.

Oh, how beautiful she was,
the fierce and elegant swan!
Oh, how deceitful she was,
but she very well hid her plan.

She'd loaf by the crystal pond,
the fierce and deceitful swan!
And when the men came around,
to seek her beauty they ran
And as she lured them in the pond
racing for her they swam.

Oh, how beautiful she was!

She swam from shores ever further,
the fierce and deceitful swan!
She swam to mischievous waters,
racing for her the men swam

Oh, how beautiful she was!

And in the cold crystal clear pond,
the fierce and beautiful swan
Took her majestic flight
And left the men to drown.
