Poet: Gustav Falke
English Translation: Justin Lamb
Composer: Luise Greger
Little Elf has a pair of wings
Little Elf has a crown
Little Elf has curly hair
Little Elf is called Malönchen!
Little Elf sips rose wine
Little Elf licks honey
She sneaks into the mouse's hole
Then peeks out. "I live here!"
Looks outside and laughs at me,
"Haha to you, old Peter!"
If you can catch me now,
I'll marry you later!
