Russian Version

(If any Russian speakers would like to provide a transcription, I would be thrilled. I've been informed it's a recitation of a version of the ballad, but I don't know more.)

Tam Lin: The Game, Trailer

From here, credited as "A game by Richard Emms and Robyn Gray, with music by Philip Eberhart" the video says it’s a trailer for a game based on Tam Lin, but it’s not clear if the trailer alone is the project, or if the game genuinely exists.
