Villeman and Magnhild

Villemann went to the river oh,
Hey all the fairest linden leaves
There he wanted to play the golden harp
For the runes he lust to win
 
Villeman goes to stand in the current,
Hey all the fairest linden leaves
Masterful could he play the golden harp
For the runes he lust to win
 
He played teasingly, he played cunningly,
Hey all the fairest linden leaves
And the bird became silent on the green twig
For the runes he lust to win
 
He played teasingly, he played loudly,
Hey all the fairest linden leaves
He played Magnhild of nokken's arm
For the runes he lust to win
 
But then nokken stood up from the deep sea,
Hey all the fairest linden leaves
It cracks in mountains and rumbles in the sky
For the runes he lust to win
 
Then he played his harp with all his might
Hey all the fairest linden leaves
And bring forth might from nokken's arm
For the runes he lust to win

I will come back soon.

but in the grove,
the skeletons were dancing no more.

The Song of the Sun

This Christmas ballad,
that I have learned,
shall you for the healthy sing.
The Song of the Sun, which is revealed
is least remembered by the false.
 
Wisdom was sung in dreams,
but truth you saw
