Maria Går På Vägen

Maria walks on the road, leading into town
she sings and she laughs, at the larks in the sky
she's on her way to the square, to sell some bread
and the sun rises warm and big, painting the sky red

lalalalalalalalala lalilalalalala lari-ramda ridori dom

And there she meets a gentleman, and a horse with a wild mane
he says: I'm the king's man, and I take what I want
and you're too beautiful, to not have a man
so come with me into the woods and I'll show you what I can

lalalalalalalalala lalilalalalala lari-ramda ridori dom

And she's forced down in the grass, and he touches her body
she wriggles and asks him, for god's sake to stop
but the knight just laughs, intoxicated by his passion
so she takes his knife and stabs him and the knight is dead

lalalalalalalalala lalilalalalala lari-ramda ridori dom

So they imprisoned Maria, and she was stoned for murder
but the memory of the knight, was celebrated every year
yes the lords became heroes, but the people were judged
but we who saw how it all went down well we know that we dreamed.

ooooohhhhhhhh oooooohhhhhh oooohhhhh oohhhhhhh
