Song 3: 'The Land of the Fairies' - Vocal
There鈥檚 a place you can glance from the corner of your eye,
Just a trace, there鈥檚 a chance you can spot it if you try,
Where we chase, where we dance, watching mortals passing by,
The Land of the Fairies.
There鈥檚 a place in the woods where you can鈥檛 tell night from day,
It鈥檚 a place you can find if you鈥檙e far enough astray,
Where the spirits are free and where lovers lose their way,
The Land of the Fairies.
Look through the trees (Look through the trees),
Beneath the oak and elm, (Ah-ah),
Look and you鈥檒l see (Look and you鈥檒l see),
Our secret magic realm (Ah-ah).
Lovers can dream (Lovers can dream),
But lovers must be wary (Ah-ah-ah),
In the Land of the Fairies.
There鈥檚 a king and he rules over all he looks upon,
Crosses worlds in a breath and just as soon, he鈥檚 gone,
He鈥檚 the lord of our land, and his name is Oberon -
The King of the Fairies.
There鈥檚 a lady who sits by his side in forest green,
Who can ride on the back of a summer breeze unseen,
Titania, the ever-mighty queen 鈥
The Queen of the Fairies.
Look through the trees (Look through the trees),
Beneath the oak and elm (Ah-ah),
Look and you鈥檒l see (Look and you鈥檒l see),
Our secret magic realm (Ah-ah).
Lovers can dream (Lovers can dream),
But lovers must be wary (Ah, ah, ah),
In the Land of the Fairies.
This episode of the story
Synopsis
In the woods outside Athens Oberon - King of the Fairies - meets Queen Titania in a clearing. They argue over one of Titania鈥檚 fairy helpers, after which she storms off. Oberon is incensed and commands Puck to find a magic flower that, when rubbed on the eyes, will make a person (or fairy) fall in love with the next live creature that it sees. Oberon intends to use the flower on Titania.
As Oberon schemes, Demetrius enters the clearing pursued by Helena. Demetrius is searching for Hermia and Lysander - who he expected to find in the woods according to Helena鈥檚 tip-off - but he can鈥檛 find them anywhere. Demetrius snaps at Helena and leaves, followed by the forlorn Helena.
When Puck returns with the magic flower, Oberon asks him to use some of it on Demetrius so that he falls in love with Helena.
