Translation to:en

Svend I Rosengaard

Hvor har du været så længe-Svend i RosengaardJeg har været i enge-kære moder vori vente mig sent eller aldrig

Hvorfor er dir sværd så blodigtJeg har dræbt min broder

Hvorfor har du dræbt bin broderFor han haver sovet med hustruen min

Hvor vil du hen dig vendeJeg vil af landet rende

Hvad vil du gøre af hustruen dinHun må spinde for føden sin

Hvornår vil du hjem dig vendeNår vi ser havet brænde

Hvornår ser vi havet brændeNår vi ser fjerene synke

Hvornår ser vi fjerende synkeNår vi ser stenene flyde

Hvornår ser vi stenene flydeFjerene synke og havet brændeSvend i RosengaardNår vi ser verden ende

Svend in Rosengaard

Where have you been for so long,Svend in Rosengaard?- I have been in a narrow place,1our dear mother,who shall expect me late or never.2

Why is your sword so bloody?- I have killed my brother.

Why have you killed your brother?- Because he sleeps with my wife.

Where will you turn to?- I will run through the country.

What will you do with your wife?- She will have to spin for her daily bread.

When will you return home?- When we see the sea burning.

When will we see the sea burning?- When we see the feathers sinking.

When will we see the feather sinking?- When we see the stones floating.

When will we see the stones floating,the feathers sinking and the sea burning,Svend in Rosengaard?- When we see the end of the world.
