Another "learned at school but can't find in DT DB":

There's a song about the gloomy ruins of an old castle, which I tended to assume was a translation because I was taught at least two full sets of lyrics for the same tune. Anyone have source or lyrics?

Part of one version went:

(long ago...)
Life was free from care.
Happiness was all around,
Flowers bloomed everywhere.

Now these (murfle) halls are dark,
Dreadful is the gloom
Round these ancient castle walls
(murfle murfle oom)
