My Babe
Elsa Kopf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone saw you
´mong the blossoms and the flowers
He will find you
Someone
Saw you today…
But then you ran away
Into the blue…
Who has come for you?
In the lilac and the roses
I will hide you
Somehow the story goes'…
You've been followed by ghosts
Out in the blue…
So go!
My little one,
I will sing a song until i know
My little one,
All the night elves keep an eye on you…
For days and moons
And days and moons i wander
The days are long but honey the nights are longer
Stars alight up my way
When i close my eyes and pray….
So go!
My little one,
I will sing a song until i know
My little one,
All the night elves keep an eye on you…
For days and moons
And days and moons i wander
The days are long but honey the nights are longer
Stars alight up my way
When i close my eyes and pray….
In the early morning hours
Someone saw you
´mong the blossoms and the flowers
He will find you…

In the early morning hours
At the start of the day
Someone saw you
Someone glimpsed you
´mong the blossoms and the flowers
Among the plants and the petals
He will find you
The observer will endeavor to catch you
Someone
An individual
Saw you today…
Spotted you on this day
But then you ran away
However you eluded them
Into the blue…
Escaping into the vast skies
Who's that shadow by the water?
Who is the silhouette near the body of water?
Who has come for you?
Who is pursuing you?
In the lilac and the roses
Amid the purple flowers and the red roses
I will hide you
I will provide you with shelter
Somehow the story goes'…
Perhaps this narrative implies that
You've been followed by ghosts
You have been trailed by apparitions
Out in the blue…
Far out in the vast skies
So go!
Therefore depart!
My little one,
My dear child,
I will sing a song until i know
I will intone until I am certain
All the night elves keep an eye on you…
Supernatural creatures watch over you
For days and moons
For many sunrises and lunar orbits
And days and moons i wander
And during these times I roam
The days are long but honey the nights are longer
The days seem endless, but the nights are even lengthier
Stars alight up my way
The luminaries illuminate my path
When i close my eyes and pray….
As I shut my eyelids and pray...
In the early morning hours
At the start of the day
Someone saw you
Someone glimpsed you
´mong the blossoms and the flowers
Among the plants and the petals
He will find you…
The observer will endeavor to catch you
