Sinclairvise (original)Sinclairvise (translation)
Herr Sinclair dro over salten hav, Mr. Sinclair crossed the salt sea,
til Norig hans kurs monne stande. to Norway his course monne stands.
blandt Gudbrands klipper han fandt sin grav, among Gudbrand's rocks he found his grave,
der vanket så blodig en panne. there was so bloody a forehead.
Vel opp før dag, Well up before day,
de kommer vel over den hede. they come well over the heath.
Ved Romsdals kyster han styrte til land, At the shores of Romsdal he landed,
erklærte seg for en fiende. declared himself an enemy.
han fulgte fjorten hundre mann he followed fourteen hundred men
som alle hadde ondt i sinne. which all had pain in anger.
Vel opp før dag, Well up before day,
de kommer vel over den hede they come well over the heath
De skjændte og brente hvor de dro frem, They quarreled and burned wherever they went,
all folkeret monne de krenke all the peoples of the world are offended
og oldingens avmakt rørte ei dem, and the power of the old man did not touch them,
de spottet den gråtende enke. they mocked the weeping widow.
Vel opp før dag, Well up before day,
de kommer vel over den hede. they come well over the heath.
Barnet blev drept i moderens kjød, The child was killed in the mother's flesh,
så mildelig det enn smilte. so mild it than smiled.
men ryktet om denne jammer og nød but the rumor of this lament and distress
til kjernen av landet ilte. to the core of the country oxygenated.
Vel opp før dag, Well up before day,
de kommer vel over den hede. they come well over the heath.
Og baunen lyste og budstikken løp And the bean shone and the messenger ran
fra grande til nærmeste grande from grande to nearest grande
og dalens sønner i skjul ei krøp, and the sons of the valley hid themselves,
det måtte herr Sinclair sande. that must be true of Mr Sinclair.
Vel opp før dag, Well up before day,
de kommer vel over den hede. they come well over the heath.
De bønder fra Vågå, Lesja og Lom The farmers from Vågå, Lesja and Lom
med skarpe økser på nakke with sharp axes on neck
i bredebygd tilsammen kom, in broad settlements together came,
med skotten ville de snakke. with the Scots they would talk.
Vel opp før dag, Well up before day,
de kommer vel over den hede. they come well over the heath.
Frem bønder, frem i norske menn Forward farmers, forward in Norwegian men
slå ned, slå ned for fote! strike down, strike down for foot!
da ønsket seg skotten hjem igjen, then the Scot wanted to go home again,
han var ei rett lystig til mote. he was a fairly cheerful to fashion.
Vel opp før dag, Well up before day,
de kommer vel over den hede. they come well over the heath.
Ei noen levende sjel kom hjem, No living soul came home,
som kunne sin landsmann fortelle who could tell his countryman
hvor farlig det er at besøke dem how dangerous it is to visit them
der bor i blandt Norigs fjelde. who lives in among the mountains of Norway.
Vel opp før dag, Well up before day,
de kommer vel over den hede.they come well over the heath.
