For I have heard that he was proud and laughing,

Blue-eyed, and a quick runner on bare feet,

And that he died a thousand years ago.

O! O! O!

[FORGAEL changes the tune.

But no, that is not it.

I knew him well, and while I heard him laughing

They killed him at my feet. O! O! O! O!

For golden-armed Iollan that I loved.

But what is it that made me say I loved him?
