Folque "Ravnene" lyrics

Translation to:en

Ravnene

Der jeg meg så ene i vang monne gå,jeg hørte to ravner at holde råd.Den ene seg til den annen vendte:Hvor skal i dag vi vår føde hente?Hvor skal i dag vi vår føde hente?

Bak gresstorv-diket det gamle histder ligger en nyslagen ridder forvisst,og ingen vet at han ligger derenn hans høk, hans hund og hans hjertens kjær.

Hans hund den jager i vilden skov,hans høk den søker bak sky sitt rov.Hans frue har givet en annen sin troså vi kan ete vår mat i ro.

Hans hvite halsben kan du sitte påså hogger jeg ut hans øyne blå.Og med en lokk av hans gule hårvi dekker vårt rede neste vår.

The ravens

As I was walking all alone,I heard two ravens making a moan;One said to the other,"Where shall we go and dine today?""Where shall we go and dine today?"

"In behind that old turf wall,I sense there lies a newly slain knight;And nobody knows that he lies there,But his hawk, his hound and his lady fair."

"His hound is to the hunting gone,His hawk to fetch the wild-fowl home,His lady's has taken another mate,So we may make our dinner sweet."

"You will sit on his white neck-bone,And I'll peck out his pretty blue eyes;With one lock of his golden hairWe'll thatch our nest when it grows bare."
