Unge Remarson

Snekka ho ligg på land og gresset under ho gro.Aldri ser du så rask en dreng som unge Jon Remarson.Mange forsvinn på sjøen, mange kjem aldri hjem.Men aldri ser du så rask en dreng som unge Jon Remarson.

De va' unge Remarson, han krusa sett gule hår.Så gikk han til sin fostermor, ville spørr kossen død han sku' få.Ikkje dør di i sotteseng, og ikkje dør du førr sverd,Men akt dæ vel for båra blå, ho blir din siste ferd.

Det var skipper Håkon, han vendte sett auge mot sky:Den som vil på sjøen i dag, kjem aldri levanes te by.Det var unge Remarson, han var en uredd mann:Æ skal ut på sjøen i dag og kom' levans i land.

De seilte på det ville hav i dagan en og to.Alt satt skipper Håkon, han vist ikkje land eller lei.Mange forsvinn på sjøen, mange kjem aldri hjem.Men aldri ser du så rask en dreng som unge Jon Remarson.

Det var skipper Håkon, han tala te sin dreng:Henter du opp mett tavlebrett, la terningen gå sin gang.Den aller første terningen, på tavlebrett lå.Den falt på unge Remarson, han skulle om skipsforlis gå.

Enker har å krenkande, æ lokka så mang ei møy.Men aldri kom det i hugen min at æ sku' på sjøen døy.Mange forsvinn på sjøen, mange kjem aldri hjem.Men aldri ser du så rask en dreng som unge Jon Remarson.

Young Remarson

The longship, she lies1 on shore and grass grows beneath her.Never have you seen such a brave lad as young Jon Remarson.Many lost at sea, many never came back home.But, never have you seen such a brave lad as young Jon Remarson.

It was young Remarson, he curled his golden hair.Then he went to his foster mother, he wanted to ask her how he'll die."you won't die in your sickbed, nor will you die by the sword","but beware of the blue waves, she2 will be your last journey".3

It was captain Håkon, he turned his eyes towards the sky4Those heading out to sea today, will never come back alive.5It was young Remarson, he was a fearless man:"I shall head out to sea today, and will return alive!".6

They sailed the wild seas for two days in a row.7All that time captain Håkon was sitting,8 he saw no land nor direction.9Many lost at sea, many never came back home.But, never have you seen such a brave lad as young Jon Remarson.

It was captain Håkon, he spoke to his lad:Fetch my board, and let the dice roll.The very first dice to lay on the board.It fell on young Remarson,10 he'll be the one to part in case of a shipwreck.11

Widows I have offended,12 I've coaxed so many a maid.But never has it occurred to me,13 that at sea I shall die.Many lost at sea, many never came back home.But, never have you seen such a brave lad as young Jon Remarson.
