Harpa (original)Harpa (translation)
Det bodde en bonde ved en strandOnce dwelt a farmer by the sea’s pale edge
Harpa toner var og finThe harp’s voice shimmered, delicate and clear
To fagre døtre hadde hanTwo radiant daughters blossomed in his hedge
Fa la la la la la la la la laFa la la la la la la la la la
Den eldste til den yngre saThe elder whispered to her sister near
Harpa toner var og finThe harp’s voice shimmered, delicate and clear
La oss ned til elva draLet us steal down to where the river sighs
Fa la la la la la la la la laFa la la la la la la la la la
Den yngste gikk føre som en solThe youngest strode ahead—a dawn in flesh
Harpa toner var og finThe harp’s voice shimmered, delicate and clear
Den eldste etter som orm i jordThe elder slid behind, earth’s foreshadowed mesh
Fa la la la la la la la la laFa la la la la la la la la la
Den yngste satte seg på en steinThe youngest perched upon a time-worn stone
Harpa toner var og finThe harp’s voice shimmered, delicate and clear
Den eldste dyttet, hun var ikke seinThe elder thrust—her malice quickly shown
Fa la la la la la la la la laFa la la la la la la la la la
Hun strakte ut sin hvite handShe reached her snowy hand through drowning foam
Harpa toner var og finThe harp’s voice shimmered, delicate and clear
Og ropte søster hjelp meg ilandAnd called: my sister, help me back to home
Fa la la la la la la la la laFa la la la la la la la la la
Da hvis jeg ikke hjelper degIf I withhold my hand from you, denied—
Harpa toner var og finThe harp’s voice shimmered, delicate and clear—
Så vil din kjæreste ekte megThen your beloved at my side will bide
Fa la la la la la la la la laFa la la la la la la la la la
Det var to gjetere på den strandTwo herdsmen wandered by the shifting shore
Harpa toner var og finThe harp’s voice shimmered, delicate and clear
Og de så liket som fløt i landAnd saw the lifeless driftwood she became, and more
Fa la la la la la la la la laFa la la la la la la la la la
De tok fra hennes kropp et benThey took a bone grown white with river’s chill
Harpa toner var og finThe harp’s voice shimmered, delicate and clear
Og lagde av det en harpe venAnd carved from it a harp, strange and still
Fa la la la la la la la la laFa la la la la la la la la la
De tok to lokker av hennes hårThey gathered two locks of her silken hair
Harpa toner var og finThe harp’s voice shimmered, delicate and clear
Og harpa gyldne strenger fårAnd strung the harp with golden sunlit air
Fa la la la la la la la la laFa la la la la la la la la la
Til søsterens bryllup ble harpa bragtThey bore the harp to the sister’s bridal feast
Harpa toner var og finThe harp’s voice shimmered, delicate and clear
Og på en strubbe der ble den lagtAnd on an ancient stump its form released
Fa la la la la la la la la laFa la la la la la la la la la
Og det var senere på denne kveldAnd when the dusk had folded in its wing
Harpa toner var og finThe harp’s voice shimmered, delicate and clear
At harpa spilte av seg selvThe harp awoke by itself, unbidden, to sing
Fa la la la la la la la la laFa la la la la la la la la la
Da den første strengen lødWhen the first trembling string was stirred
Harpa toner var og finThe harp’s voice shimmered, delicate and clear
Den fortalte om brudens onde dådIt spoke the bride’s black deed—its tale conferred
Fa la la la la la la la la laFa la la la la la la la la la
Da den andre strengen sloWhen the second string resounded, chill as snow
Harpa toner var og finThe harp’s voice shimmered, delicate and clear
Bruden som forstenet stoThe bride was rooted, stone from head to toe
Fa la la la la la la la la laFa la la la la la la la la la
