Gåte - Åsmund Frægdegjæva (English Translation) Lyrics[Lyrics to "Åsmund Frægdegjæva"]
[Verse 1]
In Ireland there lived a king
Who asked his people such a thing
"Who will go to the realm of the troll
And bring my beloved daughter home?"
But that day has not come yet
[Verse 2]
"Have you heard of Åsmund Frægdegjæva?
He's the bravest in our kingdom
He will go north to the realm of the troll
Either rescue her or never return"
But that day has not come yet
[Verse 3]
“May I tell you a couple of words?
If I get Ermelin in return
Then I'll go north to the darkеst of worlds
Where the sun has nеver shone"
But that day has not come yet
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
In Ireland there lived a king
Who asked his people such a thing
"Who will go to the realm of the troll
And bring my beloved daughter home?"
In Ireland there lived a king
Who asked his people such a thing
But that day has not come yet
[Verse 4]
Åsmund entered the first hall
Everything seemed so unstable
The tablecloths were covered in blood
Worms crawled around the table
[Verse 5]
And the princess entered this hall
For whom Åsmund came to fight
She had hair the colour of pure gold
They shone brighter than any light
But that day has not come yet
[Verse 6]
A huge troll burst into the hall
"Why the hell is the princess free?"
She asked him first of all
"Who is the brave man who let it be?"
[Chorus]
In Ireland there lived a king
Who asked his people such a thing
"Who will go to the realm of the troll
And bring my beloved daughter home?"
In Ireland there lived a king
Who asked his people such a thing
But that day has not come yet
[Instrumental]
[Verse 7]
And so bravely he fought
Slayed all the trolls within his sight
And away with the princess he rode
Only blood he left behind
[Verse 8]
The king stood on a high tower
Watched the kingdom from above
He praised Åsmund's power
He gave Ermelin him as his wife
Has the right day finally come?
[Chorus]
In Ireland there lived a king
Who asked his people such a thing
"Who will go to the realm of the troll
And bring my beloved daughter home?"
In Ireland there lived a king
Who asked his people such a thing
But that day has not come yet
In Ireland there lived a king
Who asked his people such a thing
"Who will go to the realm of the troll
And bring my beloved daughter home?"
In Ireland there lived a king
Who asked his people such a thing
{Outro}
But that day has not come yet
But that day has not come yet
But that day has not come yet
