Skula, Skorpa, Skalk(original) |
Years of famine and years of sigh |
Reaps our land that fell from crest |
Creatures, serfs and men hanged high |
Yet no remedy |
What will ever please our Gods? |
Gather the chiefs and sages |
What will save the tomorrow |
From these Dark Ages |
Slay and sacrifice our king |
Coat the statues with noble blood |
Intensify the holy smoke |
With a royal lamb |
Now neither your braves, your wise nor gold |
So far renowned |
Will be of aid now as the doomsday call |
Now you must rise up to show the steel |
Courage of your heart |
And soon you’ll raise your horn in Valhalla’s hall |
Skula, Skorpa, Skalk |
En man han tjänt herr lagers gård |
I sommar, vinter år för år |
Säg mig, vem sörjer nu för dig? |
För slit och släp under himmel grå |
Han blott sitt bröd som löning får |
Säg mig, vem sörjer nu för dig? |
Så kommer hastigt budet in: |
— Vår herre lägrar dotra din! |
Säg mig, vem sörjer nu för dig? |
Och trällen nu genom dörren steg |
Han lämna plogen vid årkerns teg |
Säg mig, vem sörjer nu för dig? |
— Herr lager hör nu mina ord |
Min doter till din hora gjord |
Säg mig, vem sörjer nu för dig? |
Och lager sa i vredesmod: |
— Du värnar ej om ditt trälablod |
Säg mig, vem sörjer nu för dig? |
Varken öl eller vin dig ämnat |
Ej heller ägorätt |
Dock Skula, Skorpa, Skalk |
Träl visste ej ett ord utav |
Förrns strupen hans var skuren av |
Säg mig, vem sörjer nu för dig? |
— Det här är nog för bot idag |
Och dotra tar jag vid behag |
Säg mig, vem sörjer nu för dig? |
— Kom jag ska visa dig min rätt |
Att trösta dej på valfritt sätt |
Säg mig, vem sörjer nu för dig? |
«O tack!» |
Han sa med gråtmild röst |
Och stötte kniven uti hans bröst |
— Säg mig, vem sörjer nu för dig? |

Skula, Skorpa, Skalk |
A man he served Mr. Lagers farm |
In summer, winter year by year |
Tell me, who cares for you now? |
For wear and tear under sky gray |
He only gets his bread as a reward |
Tell me, who cares for you now? |
Then the bid arrives quickly: |
- Our Lord camps your daughter! |
Tell me, who cares for you now? |
And the slaves now stepped through the door |
He leaves the plow at the edge of the ark |
Tell me, who cares for you now? |
- Mr lager now hears my words |
My daughter to your whore done |
Tell me, who cares for you now? |
And lager said in anger: |
- You do not protect your wooden blood |
Tell me, who cares for you now? |
Neither beer nor wine you intended |
Neither is ownership |
Dock Skula, Skorpa, Skalk |
Thrall did not know a word of |
Before his throat was cut off |
Tell me, who cares for you now? |
- This is probably a cure today |
And I take the daughter at will |
Tell me, who cares for you now? |
- Let me show you my right |
To comfort you in any way you can |
Tell me, who cares for you now? |
"Oh thank you!" |
He said in a sobbing voice |
And thrust the knife into his chest |
- Tell me, who's taking care of you now? |
