the misty mountains cold
in dungeons deep and caverns old
the pintes were roaring

the winds were mourning
in the night

The lyrics of "Far over the Misty Mountains Cold" describe a journey through a dangerous and ancient landscape filled with mythical creatures and powerful natural forces. The "misty mountains" are depicted as being full of dungeons and caverns where the "pintes" (or "goblins") are "roaring." Despite the danger, the travelers seem to be drawn deeper into the mountains, as the "winds" mourn and the "fire" burns brightly. The dark and ominous tone of the lyrics creates a sense of foreboding, mirroring the treacherous terrain the travelers are navigating.
The lyrics of "Far over the Misty Mountains Cold" are evocative and rich in imagery, creating a vivid picture of a magical world full of wonder and danger. Using a mix of concrete and abstract language, the song paints a vivid picture of a world where the forces of nature and mythic creatures are in constant conflict. The song seems to suggest that this world is both beautiful and terrifying, with the misty mountains themselves serving as a powerful symbol of both the wonder and danger that await in the unknown.

far over
In a distant land
the misty mountains cold
There were cold, foggy mountains
in dungeons deep and caverns old
Within the depths of dark dungeons and ancient caverns
the pintes were roaring
The dwarves were singing loudly
on the hight
On high mountain tops
the winds were mourning
The winds were howling mournfully
in the night
Under the cover of darkness
the fire was red
The fire blazed with a red hue
it flameing
And was burning brightly
