Lyrics of Blæster - Lumsk

Blæster (original)

Kong Olav den heilage skuklle byggje spir
På Domen i Nidaros by
Han greidde det ikkje og lova sola til den
Som fekk spiret til å rage mot sky
Men trur du at nokon melde seg?
Berre ei halv mil frå byen
På Ladehammaren ut
Der budde ein diger jotne
Med namnet som einaste sut
Skal tru om den jotnen melde seg?
Han tykte den løne var gjev og gild
Så jobben den ville han ha
Men kongen måtte vere snill
Og namnet hans inni seg ha
Slik gjekk det at jotnen melde seg
Og jotnen jobba både dag og natt
Til spiret stod der i glans
Han drøymde om kongens digre skatt
Snart skulle sola bil hans
Skal tru om den kongen angra seg?
Ved midnatt rodde han Olav av stad
Til Kjerringberget i båt
Gygra roa barnet ned
For å stanse den barnegråt
Kva var det han høyrde Gygra si?
«Æ lova dæ sola — det himmelske gull
Så snart han Blæster e' fri
For arbeid på spiret te' Domen — i rette tid»
Skal tru om den kongen angra seg?
Olav rodde heim av all si makt
Han måtte til Blæster sjå
Forutan ein knapp var spiret lagt
Han var nesten ferdig med det
Skal tru om den kongen angra seg?
Kong Olav den heilage ropa ut:
«Blæster korr flink du e'»
Straks jotnen høyrde namnet sitt
Han døydde og ramla ned
Skal tru om den kongen fryda seg?

(translation)

King Olav the Holy Skuklle builds spiers
At the Cathedral in the town of Nidaros
He did not succeed and promised the sun to it
Which caused the spire to protrude towards the cloud
But do you think anyone will sign up?
Just half a mile from town
At Ladehammaren out
There was a huge jotne
With the name as the only pacifier
Should believe if that jotnen sign up?
He thought the salary was generous
So the job he wanted
But the king had to be kind
And his name inside him ha
This is how the jotnen went about signing up
And the jotnen worked both day and night
To the spire stood there in splendor
He dreamed of the king's huge treasure
Soon his car would be sunbathing
Should believe if that king repents?
At midnight he rowed Olav out of town
To Kjerringberget by boat
Gygra calms the child down
To stop the crying of children
What was it he heard Gygra say?
"I promise the sun - the heavenly gold
As soon as he Blows e 'free
For work on sprouted tea 'Domen - at the right time »
Should believe if that king repents?
Olav rowed home with all his might
He had to go to Blæster
In addition to a button, the spire was laid
He was almost done with it
Should believe if that king repents?
King Olav the Holy exclaims:
«Blows corr nice you e '»
As soon as the jotnen heard his name
He died and fell down
Should believe if that king rejoices?
