"Rumpelstiltskin" is a German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm about a little goblin who spins straw into gold to give to the miller's daughter. In return, he demands her firstborn child, provided she becomes queen. The queen can keep her child if she guesses its name within three days, which she manages to do with the help of a messenger. https://budgetpixel.com/blog/fairytalefolklore-imagevideosong-challenge-march-20-26-2026

Lyrics — “Rumpelstilzchen” by @chris70

[Intro] [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Verse] Within the tower, cold and gray The straw is piled in disarray The wheel is still, the candle low She weeps for seeds she did not sow Then from the cracks, a shadow creeps While everyone in the castle sleeps A golden ring, a necklace fine “I’ll spin the straw and make it shine!” [Bridge] [Instrumental] [Bridge] Spin the wheel and turn the thread Gold instead of leaden dread Whirring, purring, through the night Morning brings a golden light. [Bridge] [Instrumental] [Chorus: Full Orchestral Swell, Polyphonic Choir] O, how lucky that no soul can see The price she’ll have to pay to me! Today I bake, tomorrow I brew I’ll dance until the sky is blue Little flies the bird, little flies the fish, how lucky I am that nobody knows, that Rumpelstiltskin is my name! [Bridge] [Instrumental] [Verse] The King is pleased, the vault is filled The maiden’s frantic heart is stilled But now the little man returns To claim the prize for which he yearns "Three days," he sneers with wicked glee "To find the name that belongs to me" He dances ‘round his forest fire A tiny king of his own desire. [Bridge] [Instrumental] [Bridge] (Spoken in a rasping, rhythmic voice) "Is it Timothy? Is it John? Is it Casper? Is it Don? Guess again, my pretty queen, The strangest name you’ve ever seen!" [Bridge] [Instrumental] [Chorus: Full Orchestral Swell, Polyphonic Choir] O, how lucky that no soul can see The price she’ll have to pay to me! Today I bake, tomorrow I brew I’ll dance until the sky is blue Little flies the bird, little flies the fish, how lucky I am that nobody knows, that Rumpelstiltskin is my name! [Bridge] [Instrumental] [Outro] Rumpelstiltskin..

“I’m familiar with a lot of Grimm’s fairy tales in Japan, but I’d never heard this story before. Really beautiful song and lyrics — nice!👍
