Intro
The refrain between the two stanzas in the introduction and the lyrics were always the same:
- Refrain: Xanti, the little fox is nimble as a weasel and alert as a lynx.
Xanti, the smart one. Xanti, the redhead. Xanti, the cheeky little fox. - Verse 1 (sung by Xanti): Where animals, plants, spirits live, elves float in the moonlight at night,
trolls weave their magic, there you are deep in the wonder forest, there you are deep in the wonder forest. - Verse 2 (spoken by Robur): Far behind the colorful rainbow mountains on the banks of the great river lies the wonder forest.
Here big and small animals talk to each other and live in peaceful harmony with forest spirits and the funny elven people.
Here you will experience the most beautiful stories and adventures.
