Det lisle bånet
Å, Gullmund han ville te gjestebod fara,
Sådomereven, kå gjorde han der?
Å, reven sku taka gjæsann i vari.
Bånet dotte, blomekinna.
Han lokka reven av bosjen inn.
Å, Gullmund han kom seg av gjestebodi heim,
Sådomereven, kå gjorde han der?
Å fyri satt reven, den valboren svein.
Bånet dotte, blomekinna.
Han lokka reven av bosjen inn.
Å, kjære Gullmund, du biar meg ei stund,
Sådomereven, kå gjorde han der?
Ti eg fær skifte mine sjælegaver um
Bånet dotte, blomekinna.
Han lokka reven av bosjen inn.
Det lisle bånet gjev eg min skalle,
Sådomereven, kå gjorde han der?
Han må så [bad word] i golvet falle.
Bånet dotte, blomekinna.
Han lokka reven av bosjen inn.

2. The Little Child
Gullmund was off, he'd been asked to a feast
Foolish fox, what was he up to?
and the fox was left to guard the hens.
The baby fell down, cheeks all rosy,
and lured the fox inside.
Gullmund returned from the banquet and found
Foolish fox, what was he up to?
a satisfied creature, the fox by the door.
The baby fell down, cheeks all rosy,
and lured the fox inside.
Dear Gullmund, stay with me a while,
Foolish fox, what was he up to?
until I've changed my ways.
The baby fell down, cheeks all rosy,
and lured the fox inside.
To the little child I'll give my skull,
Foolish fox, what was he up to?
for he seems prone to fall.
The baby fell down, cheeks all rosy,
and lured the fox inside
