Translation of the song lyrics Olav Digre - Glittertind

Olav Digre (original)

Olav Digre dro ut i verden
For lukke of rikdom søke
Han lot seg kristne av skallede menn
Sem Jehovahs folk ville øke
For Olav han var ingen ærlig mann
Han var fæl til å dikte og spøke
Og de kritne fortalte hitoriene hans
For at Jehvas folk skulle øke
Tilbake til Norge vendte han
Med en bestukket hær
For med penger og gull, med sverd og slakt
Skulle han snart vokse sed svær
Til slutt dle Norge kristnet med makt
En kulturarv gikk mot sin grav
Det kan vi takke Olav Digre og hans menn
Svindlerne på de sju hav
For liket til Digre vokste ennu
Selv om hans sjel var i Helheim
Nei, løgnene fortsatte til evig tid
Men sannheten banet veien
Ja, at fjell kunne splittes og jotner drepas
Det var jo ikke helt sant
Men for Olav var dumme historier og løgn
Ett virkenmiddel lik kamp

Olav Digre (translation)

Olav Digre went out into the world
For close of wealth seek
He allowed himself to be Christianized by bald men
Sem Jehovah's people would increase
To Olav he was no honest man
He was awful at composing and joking
And the critics told his stories
For Jehovah's people to increase
He returned to Norway
With a bribed army
For with money and gold, with sword and slaughter
Should he soon grow sed hard
In the end, Norway became a Christian by force
A cultural heritage went to his grave
We can thank Olav Digre and his men for that
The scammers on the seven seas
For the body of Digre was still growing
Even though his soul was in Helheim
No, the lies continued forever
But the truth paved the way
Yes, that mountains could be split and jotner killed
That was not entirely true
But for Olav were stupid stories and lies
An instrument similar to struggle
