Текст песни Therion — Ljusalfheim (Meet & Greet, Live in Montevideo, Uruguay, 1.06.2012)

The shining ones, the elves and the fairies, are beings of enchanting beauty. They act as a thought or a fantasy and it could be easy for you to be lead astray by their splendid light. You may be lifted on their wings to the highest of skies, but beware...in the next moment they may let you fall.

Solar glare from Lord Frej,
the Shining One,
in Ljusalfheim he's King of elves.

High above the rainbow
and in the tarn deep in the wood
you'll find the elves.

Follow their light
it's brighter than the sun
it makes you fly...

In the realm of Alfheim
you never know what you have seen.
A pale mirage?

Beauty make you sunblind
it fills your mind
you fly away and lose your hug.

Fly with their wings
they make you feel so free
but you may fall...

Flee from their light
they'll maybe drag you down
or make you fly...

"Льюсальвхейм (Сияющие)"

Светлые, эльфы - создания неземной красоты. Они действуют словно мысль, как фантазия, и ты можешь легко сбиться с пути, следуя их манящему свету. С их помощью ты можешь вознестись к самым высоким из небес, но берегись... в следующий миг они могут отпустить тебя, и ты упадёшь.

Солнца свет Владыки Фрейра -
Сияющие.
В Льюсальвхейме он Король Эльфов.

В вышине на радуге,
В озёрах и лесах
Ты найдёшь альвов.

Следуй их свету -
Он ярче, чем солнце,
Он вознесёт тебя ввысь.

В царстве Альвхейм
Ты не узнаешь то, что увидал -
Едва различимый мираж?

Красота слепит как солнце,
Заполняет разум твой,
Ты взлетаешь и теряешь хватку.

Лети вместе с ними,
Они дадут свободу тебе,
Но помни – можешь упасть...

Беги от их света,
Они могут утащить тебя вниз
Или поднять до небес.

Краткое описание

It portrays the elves as beings found high above the rainbow and in the deep woods, with their light brighter than the sun, capable of making one fly.

The lyrics suggest both the freedom and the potential downfall that comes with flying with the elves’ wings. Overall, «Ljusalfheim» captures the mystique and allure of the elven realm while cautioning about the consequences of being drawn into their world.
