Translation of the song lyrics De Tre Piker - Myrkur

De Tre Piker (original)

Der stod tre piker på det høgande fjell
Såg utover dybe hav
Der ser de et skip komme seilende
Der ser de et skip komme seilende
Som på det tre grever var
Den aller yngste greven
Som der på skipet var
Han ville visst trolova sig
Han ville visst trolova sig
Enn sjølv så ung han var
Så tok han av seg ringen
Den var av gullet rent
Tak den, tak den du vennen min
Tak den, tak den du vennen min
Tak den og bli som min
Men hva vil min moder sige
Når jeg kommer hjem igjen
Sig at, sig at du har funne den
Sig at, sig at du har funne den
I skogens grønne li

(translation)

There were three girls standing on the rising mountain
Looked out over deep seas
There they see a ship coming sailing
There they see a ship coming sailing
As on what three counts were
The very youngest count
As there was on the ship
He certainly wanted to get engaged
He certainly wanted to get engaged
Than even how young he was
Then he took off the ring
It was pure gold
Thank you, thank you my friend
Thank you, thank you my friend
Grab it and be like mine
But what will my mother say
When I get home again
Say that, say that you have found it
Say that, say that you have found it
In the green li of the forest
