Eg heiter Håvard Hedde, og er so ven ein kar.
No vil eg burt og gifta meg og rydja meg ein gard.
Eg bur upp under fjell,
og gjenta hev eg lova. Eg svik ho inkje [bad word] 

Garden han er liten, men skogen han er god.
Der heve eg tvo furor, og dei skal stå i ro.
Eg bur upp under fjell,
og gjenta hev eg lova. Eg svik ho inkje [bad word] 

Når borni dei vert mange, og skuldi aukar på.
So høgg eg ned den eine, den andre ho lyt stå.
Eg bur upp under fjell,
og gjenta hev eg lova. Eg svik ho inkje [bad word]

My name us Haavard Hedde
And am so handsome a guy
Now I want to go and get married
And clear a place for a farm

I live up-under mountains
And the girl I have pledged myself to
I didn't let her down either

My name is Haavard Hedde
And live up-under peak
Now I want to go and get married

I live below mountains
And the girl I have pledged myself to
I didn't let her down either

Yes, the farm it is small
But the forest, it is good
There I have two pines
And they shall stand in peace

When the children [bad word] many
and I owe more and more money
Then I chop one down
The second can be for now

But when we [bad word] old
and each shall have it's own
Then I chop the second down
And the forest is gone
