Falconer - Per Tyrssons Döttar I VÃ&curre lyrics
[The Ballad of Per Tysson's daughters in VÃÆ'¤nge]
[Lyrics: Tradititional, Translation: Mathias Blad]
Per Tyrsson's daughters in VÃÆ'¤nge
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 VÃÆ'¤nga 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 VÃÆ'¤nga town.
As they arrived in VÃÆ'¤nga 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 VÃÆ'¤nge,
our mother Fru Karin in SkrÃÆ'¤nge."
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."
"KÃÆ'¤rna 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 DÃÆ'¶ttrar i VÃÆ'¤nge]
[Lyrics: Tradititional: Swedish Version]
Per Tyrssons dÃÆ'¶ttrar i VÃÆ'¤nge.
Kaller var deras skog.
De sovo en sÃÆ'¶mn fÃÆ'¶r lÃÆ'¤nge.
Medan skogen han lÃÆ'¶vas.
FÃÆ'¶rst vaknad den yngsta,
sa vÃÆ'¤ckte hon upp de andra
Sa satte de sig pa sÃÆ'¤ngestock
sa flÃÆ'¤tade de varandras lock
Sa togo de pa sina silkesklar
sa gingo de sig at kyrkan
Nar som de kommo pa VÃÆ'¤nga lid
dÃÆ'¤r mÃÆ'¶tte de tre vallare
"SÃÆ'¤g viljen I bli vallareviv
eller viljen I mistra era unga liv?"
"Ej vilja vi blie vallareviv
hellre vi miste vart unga liv."
De hÃÆ'¶gg deras huvu'n pa bjÃÆ'¶rkestock,
sa rann dÃÆ'¤r strax tre kÃÆ'¤llor opp
Kropparna grovo de ner i dy,
klÃÆ'¤derna buro de fram till by
NÃÆ'¤r som de kommo till VÃÆ'¤nga gard
ute fÃÆ'¶r dom fru Karin star
"Och viljen I kÃÆ'¶pa silkessÃÆ'¶rkar,
som nio jungfrur har stickat och virkat?"
"LÃÆ'¶s upp edra knyten och lat mig se,
kanhÃÆ'¤nda jag kÃÆ'¤nner dem alla tre."
Fru Karin sig fÃÆ'¶r brÃÆ'¶stet slar
och upp till Per Tyrsson i porten hon gar.
Dethaller tre vallare pa var gard
de haver gjort av med dÃÆ'¶ttrarna var."
Per Tyrsson tar sitt svÃÆ'¤rd i hand
sa hÃÆ'¶gg han ihjÃÆ'¤l de ÃÆ'¤ldsta tva
Den tredje fraga han innan han slog:
"Vad heter er fader och mor?"
"Var fader Per Tyrsson ivÃÆ'¤nge,
var moder fru Karin i SkrÃÆ'¤nge."
Per Tyrsson han gar sig at smedjan,
han lÃÆ'¤t smida sig jÃÆ'¤rn om midjan
"Vad ska vi nu gÃÆ'¶ra fÃÆ'¶r syndamen?"
"Vi ska bygga upp en kyrka av kalk och sten!"
"Den kyrkan ska heta KrÃÆ'¤na."
Kaller var deras skog
"Den ska vi bygga upp sa gÃÆ'¤rna"
Medan skogen han lÃÆ'¶vas
