Lyrics of Brudrovet - Nordman

Brudrovet (original)

Han vntar p grden och klockan slr.
De har gtt in nu och tiden gr.
Han vntar inte ensam, dr str en man
hon lovat tro innan han frsvann.
De ser p varandra och anar svek,
nu r det allvar och ingen lek.
Att frmlingen r envis str redan klart,
han sker bruden som kommer snart.
Ge dig, vi vet att hon r grann,
att hon kan locka andra n sin man.
Du hoppas att hon har knslor kvar,
men snart sger prsten amen.
Hon sitter p vagnen i all sin prakt,
och hon har karlarna i sin makt,
Hon samlar sina kjolar och stiger ner,
och han blir yr av den syn han ser.
Han minns hennes vrme och hennes hud.
Nej, frr ska djvulen ta hans brud!
Och dr p sjlva trappan till kyrkans port
hrs det en svordom, sen gr det fort.
Ge dig, din djvla krigarsjl.
Fr vi en chans s ska du tas ihjl.
Han har redan bruden i sin famn,
och brudgummen str med skammen,
Ge dig, vad har du hjrnan till?
Du kan ju se att flickan inte vill.
Men bruden hon ler emot sin vn,
och prsten han sger amen.
Ingen har sett dom sen,
dom sger hon sg lycklig ut.
Brudgummen letar n som bara narrar skulle gra.
Ge dig, jag orkar inte mer!
Och nd vill hon prva allt han ger.
Hon vet att hon borde sga nej,
tills prsten har sagt sitt amen,
Ge dig, vi kanske kommer dit,
men innan dess kan jag vl f en bit.
Du har ju s mycket kvar nd,
sen delar vi vl p skammen.

(translation)

He waits for the farm and the clock strikes.
They have entered now and time is running out.
He does not wait alone, there stands a man
she promised to believe before he disappeared.
They look at each other and suspect betrayal,
now it's serious and no play.
That the stranger is stubborn is already clear,
he happens to be the bride who is coming soon.
Give you, we know she's a neighbor,
that she can attract others n her husband.
You hope she has feelings left,
but soon the priest says amen.
She sits on the carriage in all its glory,
and she has the men in her power,
She collects her skirts and descends,
and he is dizzy at the sight he sees.
He remembers her warmth and her skin.
No, before the devil will take his bride!
And go up the stairs to the church gate
hear it a swear word, then it goes fast.
Give you, you devil warrior soul.
If we get a chance, you should be killed.
He already has the bride in his arms,
and the bridegroom is ashamed,
Give yourself, what do you have the brains for?
You can see that the girl does not want to.
But the bride she laughs at her friend,
and the priest he says amen.
No one has seen them since,
they say she looks so happy.
The groom is looking for n that only fools would do.
Give it to me, I can not take it anymore!
And now she wants to try everything he gives.
She knows she should say no,
until the priest has said his amen,
Give you, we might get there,
but before that I may well get a piece.
You have so much left,
then we share the shame.
