Margjit og Targjei Risvollo [English translation]
Margjit og Targjei Risvollo [English translation]
Margjit herds (the flock) in the northern hillsides
she blows in gilded horns
this Jon i Vaddelio hears
and it increases his great grief
- it was me and never you
who jalla* beneath the hillsides -
They lay together through the long night
by each other's side
the night ended and the sun rose
they parted with sorrow and pain
- it was me and never you
who jalla beneath the hillsides -
(It was) Mistress Margjit
tapped on the side post
arise, Kristi, my maiden
you must let me in!
- it was me and never you
who jalla beneath the hillsides -
(It was) Targjei Risvollo,
came riding to the farm
(it was) the maiden Kristi
She was wrapped in rich furs
- it was me and never you
who jalla beneath the hillsides -
(It was) Targjei Risvollo
leaned against his sword
"where is now the mistress Margjit
who is to brighten my journey?"
- it was me and never you
who jalla beneath the hillsides -
Listen, young Tarjei
What I wish to say to you
You are not meant, young Tarjei
To ride as a groom, with Margjit
- it was me and never you
who jalla beneath the hillsides -
She carries a great pain underneath her bosom
And a torment inside of her.
You are not meant, young Tarjei
To ride as a groom, with Margjit
- it was me and never you
who jalla beneath the hillsides -
Fair was the horse
which brave Targjei rode
even fairer the horse
he had intended for his betrothed
- it was me and never you
who jalla beneath the hillsides -
(It was)Targjei Risvollo
he left with sorrow and pain
the horse of the bride runs loose (without any rider) behind Risvollo.
- it was me and never you
who jalla beneath the hillsides -
