Lyrics

Jeg lagde mitt hoved til elverhøy,
mine øyne de finge en dvale,
der kom gangende unge alver to,
som gjerne ville med meg tale.

”Statt opp, vakker jomfru,
om du vilt dansen røre.”
Alle små fugle begyndte
at kvitre i dale.
x2

Den ene begyndte en vise at kvede
så favrt over alle kvinder,
striden strøm, den stildes derved,
som før var van at rinde.

”Statt opp, vakker jomfru,
om du vilt dansen røre.”
Alle små fugle begyndte
at kvitre i dale.
x2

”Da ville vi kunne deg runene,
dertil at lese og skrive.”
De danset ut, de danset inn,
alt i den elverferd.
”Da ville vi kunne deg runene,
dertil at lese og skrive.”
”Statt opp, vakker jomfru,
om du vilt dansen røre.”
Alle små fugle begyndte
at kvitre i dale.
x3

De danset ut, de danset inn,
alt i den elverferd.

Translation

I laid my head on the hill of elves,
my eyes and fingers slumbered,
then two young elves came walking,
they would gladly talk with me.

“Stand up, you handsome young virgin,
if you wish to set the dance moving.”
Every little bird
started to tweet in the valley.
x2

One started to versify a song
so beautiful over all the women,
the violent stream nearby, it stilled,
and started to flow as it used to.

“Stand up, you handsome young virgin,
if you wish to set the dance moving.”
Every little bird
started to tweet in the valley.
x2

“We’d like to teach you how to use book and runes,
therefore, to read and to write.”
They danced in and out,
all in that elven journey.
“We’d like to teach you how to use book and runes,
therefore, to read and to write.”
“Stand up, you handsome young virgin,
if you wish to set the dance moving”
Every little bird,
started to tweet in the valley.
x3

They danced in and out,
all in that elven journey.
