[The Ballad of Per Tysson's daughters in V?ge]
|
|
[Lyrics: Tradititional, Translation: Mathias Blad]
|
|
Per Tyrsson's daughters in V?ge
|
Oh how chilly their woods
|
They were fast asleep a long time ago
|
Whilst the woods burst into leaf
|
|
The youngest was the first one to awake
|
She soon awoke the others
|
|
They sat themselves down upon their beds
|
and plaited the hair on each other's heads
|
|
Then they dressed in clothes of silk
|
and made their way to church
|
|
When they came to V?ga hill
|
they met three robbers who held them still
|
|
"Pray, would you care to become robbers' wives?
|
Or would you rather lose your lives?"
|
|
"We would not care to become robbers' wives.
|
We would much rather lose our lives."
|
|
They chopped their heads off on birch-wood stem
|
and soon three wells sprung forth by them
|
|
The bodies were dug down in muddy ground,
|
the clothes they carried to V?ga town.
|
|
As they arrived in V?ga farm
|
Fru Karin came to greet them.
|
|
"Say, would you care to buy clothes of silk
|
that nine maidens have knitted and crotcheted?"
|
|
"Open your bundles and let me see
|
maybe I know them, all three."
|
|
Fru Karin quivers as never before
|
and runs to Per Tyrsson who stands by the door
|
|
"There are three robbers outside our farm
|
they've gotten rid of our daughters"
|
|
Per Tyrsson grabs his sword and then
|
he runs to slay the two older men.
|
|
He asked the third one before he stroke
|
"Who is your father and mother?"
|
|
"Our father Per Tyrsson in V?ge,
|
our mother Fru Karin in Skr?ge."
|
|
Per Tyrsson went to the smithy
|
and forged himself iron round his waist.
|
|
"What shall our retribution be?"
|
"We'll build a church out of stone and lime."
|
|
"K?na Church shall be its name"
|
Oh how chilly their woods
|
"Oh, how willingly we will build it ."
|
Whilst the woods burst into leaf
|
|
[Per Tyrssons D?trar i V?ge]
|
|
[Lyrics: Tradititional: Swedish Version]
|
|
Per Tyrssons d?trar i V?ge.
|
Kaller var deras skog.
|
De sovo en s?n f? l?ge.
|
Medan skogen han l?as.
|
|
F?st vaknad den yngsta,
|
sa v?kte hon upp de andra
|
|
Sa satte de sig pa s?gestock
|
sa fl?ade de varandras lock
|
|
Sa togo de pa sina silkesklar
|
sa gingo de sig at kyrkan
|
|
Nar som de kommo pa V?ga lid
|
d? m?te de tre vallare
|
|
"S? viljen I bli vallareviv
|
eller viljen I mistra era unga liv?"
|
|
"Ej vilja vi blie vallareviv
|
hellre vi miste vart unga liv."
|
|
De h?g deras huvu'n pa bj?kestock,
|
sa rann d? strax tre k?lor opp
|
|
Kropparna grovo de ner i dy,
|
kl?erna buro de fram till by
|
|
N? som de kommo till V?ga gard
|
ute f? dom fru Karin star
|
|
"Och viljen I k?a silkess?kar,
|
som nio jungfrur har stickat och virkat?"
|
|
"L? upp edra knyten och lat mig se,
|
kanh?da jag k?ner dem alla tre."
|
|
Fru Karin sig f? br?tet slar
|
och upp till Per Tyrsson i porten hon gar.
|
|
Dethaller tre vallare pa var gard
|
de haver gjort av med d?trarna var."
|
|
Per Tyrsson tar sitt sv?d i hand
|
sa h?g han ihj? de ?dsta tva
|
|
Den tredje fraga han innan han slog:
|
"Vad heter er fader och mor?"
|
|
"Var fader Per Tyrsson iv?ge,
|
var moder fru Karin i Skr?ge."
|
|
Per Tyrsson han gar sig at smedjan,
|
han l? smida sig j?n om midjan
|
|
"Vad ska vi nu g?a f? syndamen?"
|
"Vi ska bygga upp en kyrka av kalk och sten!"
|
|
"Den kyrkan ska heta K?na."
|
Kaller var deras skog
|
"Den ska vi bygga upp sa g?na"
|
Medan skogen han l?as
|
