Translation to:en

Olav Digre

Olav Digre dro ut i verdenFor lykke og rikdom søkeHan lot seg kristne av skallede mennSom Jehovahs folk ville øke.

For Olav han var ingen ærlig mannHan var fæl til å dikte og spøke.Og de kristne fortalte historiene hans,For at Jehovahs folk skulle øke.

Tilbake til Norge vendte hanMed en bestukket hær.For med penger og gull, med sverd og slaktSkulle han snart vokse seg svær.

Til slutt ble Norge kristnet med makt,En kulturarv gikk mot sin grav.Det kan vi takke Olav Digre og hans menn,Svindlerne på de sju hav.

For liket til Digre vokste ennå,Selv om hans sjel var i Helheim.Nei, løgnene fortsatte til evig tid,Men sannheten banet veien.

Ja, at fjell kunne splittes og jotner drepasDet var jo ikke helt sant.Men for Olav var dumme historier og løgnEtt virkemiddel lik kamp.

Olav Digre

Olav Digre went out in the worldFor the search of happiness and wealthHe got baptized by hairless menwho wanted that Jehovah's people would increase.

For Olav he was no honest manHe used to fabricate* and joke.And the christians told his stories to,so the people of Jehovah would increase.

Back to Norway, he turnedWith a corrupt army.For with money and gold, with sword and slaughterShould he soon grow big

Finally, Norway was Christianized by force,A heritage went to her grave.for that we can thank Olav Digre and his men,scammers on the seven seas.

For the body to Digre grew stillEven though his soul was in Helheim.No, the lies continued for ever,But the truth paved the road.

Yes, that could split mountains and giants killedIt was not quite true.But for Olaf, stupid stories and lieswas one instrument as good as a battle.
