Gåte - Horpa (English Translation) Lyrics[Lyrics to "Horpa"]
[Intro: Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
The elder sister once said to the younger one
We should go to the lake today
The younger one sat on a rock in the sun
When the elder one came to slay
Drowning her sister was her cunning plan
"I'll take your man, let your body float away"
[Chorus]
And this soul flew over the whole-whole-whole land
And this soul flew over the whole-whole-whole land
[Verse 2]
But then two pilgrims got to this land
They found a dead maiden on thе stones
They lifted hеr white corpse with care from the sand
They made a harp from her graceful bones
And at the wedding the harp came to life and said:
"It's my sister who is to blame"
[Chorus]
And this soul flew over the whole-whole-whole land
And this soul flew over the whole-whole-whole land
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
And then the bride screamed in rage at the harp:
"Don't believe her, all she said is a lie"
Having fallen to the ground, the harp then rose up
The pure maiden stood there alive
[Outro]
And this soul flew over the whole-whole-whole land
And this soul flew over the whole-whole-whole land
And this soul flew over the whole-whole-whole land
And this soul flew over the whole-whole-whole land
And this soul flew over the whole-whole-whole land
