Tjanne [English translation]

Poor Tjanne, he said, Tjanne, why don't you sing?

And what shall I sing, within three days I will be gone.

Tjanne was just in the earth. When Jan married another love.

And she beat the children, and she said: why aren't you looking (for your mother)?

In the morning at nine o' clock. People saw the children silently go to the grave of their mom.

They read and prayed and fell to their knees.

At the prayer they read the grave ruptured in three.

She took the middle son and placed him on her lap.

and she took the youngest son and placed him at her naked breast.

And she gave the first her mothers milk.

Poor children, she said, what does your father do at home?

(She said, she said, she said, she said)

Mother, they said, mother, my hunger is too great.

Stand up and let us go, we shall ask for bread.

(And let us go, and let us go, and let us go)

Poor children, she spoke to the children, I can't stand up.

My body is under the earth, and only my spirit is standing here.
