[The Ballad of Per Tysson's in Vnge] Tradititional, Translation: Mathias Blad]
Per Tyrsson's in Vnge Oh how chilly woods They were fast asleep a long ago the woods burst into leaf The youngest was the one to awake She awoke the others They sat themselves upon their beds and plaited the hair on each other's Then they dressed in clothes of and made way to church they came to Vnga hill they met three robbers who held them "Pray, would you care to become robbers' Or would you lose your lives?" "We would not care to become wives. We would rather lose our lives." They chopped their heads off on stem and soon wells sprung forth by them The bodies dug down in muddy ground, the clothes carried to Vnga town. As arrived in Vnga farm Fru Karin to greet them. "Say, would you to buy clothes of silk that nine maidens have and crotcheted?" "Open your and let me see I know them, all three." Fru Karin quivers as never and to Per Tyrsson who stands by the door "There are three outside our farm gotten rid of our daughters" Per Tyrsson grabs his sword and he runs to slay the two men. He the third one before he stroke "Who is father and mother?" "Our Per Tyrsson in Vnge, our mother Fru in Skrnge." Per Tyrsson to the smithy and forged himself round his waist. "What shall our be?" "We'll a church out of stone and lime." "Krna shall be its name" Oh how their woods "Oh, how willingly we will it ." the woods burst into leaf
