Translation to:en

Jomfruva Ingebjør

Eg veit meg ein ædeli skog`esunna og vesta fyr fjord:der vekse så mange dei ædeli tre,dei venast på jordi som gror.

Det var stride stjukmori,ho framfyr sengji sto:Skapt`a i ei villande hindsom spring`e på øydeskog.

- Korleis ska sveinen finne jomfruva?

Det var han rike Herre-Per,vakna og om seg såg:borte var fruva Ingebjør,som på hass armen låg.

"Høyre du, unge Herre-Per,kvi høgg`e du ned min skog?Du fær kje den ville ørni,fyrr ho fær manneblod."

- Korleis ska sveinen finne jomfruva?

Han skar stykkje utor sin barm,kasta det hågt`pi kviste;ørni skreik, så hågt ho gol,ho ville Herre-Per giste.

"Gud signe deg, dandis Herre-Per,fyr alle god-rå`ine dine!Stjukmor mi sit i Trollebotn,der græt ho syndine sine."

- No heve sveinen funni jomfruva.

The maiden Ingebjør

I know of a noble* forestSouth and north of the fjords.There the beautiful Linden trees growsFairest of all trees on earth.

(It was) the wicked stepmotherstood in front of the bed.Transformed her into a wild doe (deer)that runs in the desolate forest.

-how shall the boy find the maiden?

(it was)The rich Herre-Perawoke and looked around:gone was his wife Ingebjørwho had been lying in his arms.

“Harken, young Herre-Per,Why do you cut down my forest?You will not capture the wild eagleunless she is given mansblood"

-how shall the boy find the maiden?

He cut chunks from his chest,threw them high up among the branches;The eagle shrieked, she sang out so loudlyShe wanted to come to Herre-Per.

“God bless you, clever and able Herre-Perfor all your good wits!My stepmother sits in Trollebotn,where she weeps for her sins”

-Now the boy has found the maiden.
