"Arntor, Ein Windir" lyrics
[Norwegian:]
Da va I Kaupanger syslemennedn hildt ti
Han Ivar Dape å ain svikar ti
Han Sverre Sigurdssån dai sverga ti, henta inn skatte
Aojifte å maira ti
Støao ti Saongdøledn va'kkje hjao svikaren Kong Sverre
Men han Magnus Erlingssån berre
Han Kong Sverre va redde fø å møssa Sågn
Ti Magnus dan ekta kongssån
Like føare Jol I edlevaaottitri, kravde syslepakke ekstra yting
Ti jolavaisla fø seg sjøl å nåken I
Blobade skolde trast skji
Arntor frao Kvaole I spissen, me Isak Torjilssån, sønedn has Arnjeir prest
Gaute å Karlsshåve
Dissa staute karadn, Saogndøle
Aisbyggje å Kaupaongsmenn, gjikk mot syslepakke kvitmessedag
Arge å fodle ao hat
Eplekjekke Ivar Dape ba om grid
Arntor å karadn lyste ut krig
Itte at øks om håve has svinga, va'kkje da mykje grid
Arntor!
Eplekjekke Ivar Dape ba om grid
Arntor å karadn lyste ut krig
Itte at øks om håve has svinga, va'kkje da mykje grid atte I bringao
Aover midnatt va mannadrape, pao tjuvpakk å kjeltringa
Svaiti å han Ivar Dape aover. Å Jol da vart I Saogndal!
[English translation:]
[Arntor, A Warrior]
In Kaupanger the District Governors lived
Ivar Dape and another deceiver
Sworn to Sverre Sigurdsson
They collected taxes, excises and more fees
The people of Sogndal only supported Magnus
Erlingsson, not the deceiver King Sverre
The King was afraid to lose Sogn to Magnus the true kingsson
Close to Christmas 1183
The Governor-filth demanded extra taxes to
Christmas celebrations for themselves and some others
The bloodbath was about to happen
Led by Arntor from Kvåle together with Isak
Torgilsson and the sons of Arngeir the priest
Gaute and Karlshead
These brave men from Sogndal
Eide and Kaupanger went against the Governor scum on
Christmas eve angry and full of hate
The wiseapple Ivar Dape asked for peace
Arntor and his men proclaimed war
But after the axe his head chopped off
There wasn't much peace left in this chest
Past midnight the killing of thieves, crocks
Servants and Ivar Dape was done
The celebration of Christmas in Sogndal began
Da va I Kaupanger syslemennedn hildt ti
Han Ivar Dape å ain svikar ti
Han Sverre Sigurdssån dai sverga ti, henta inn skatte
