Sinklars Vísa

The captain sailed over the salty sea
To Norway his course must hold
Among Gudbrand's cliffs he found his grave
There wandered such a bloody forehead
Well up before day, they will come well over the heath

By the Romsdal coast he steered ashore
Declared himself an enemy
Fourteen hundred men followed him
All with evil intentions
Well up before day, they will come well over the heath

They desecrated and burned where they went
All international law they may violate
The old man's weakness did not touch them
They mocked the crying widow
Well up before day, they will come well over the heath

The soldier is out on the king's expedition
We must defend the land ourselves
Cursed be the traitorous act
That now wants to spare his blood
Well up before day, they will come well over the heath

The farmers from Våge, Lesje, and Lom
With sharp axes on their necks
In a broad bow they came together
With the Scots they wanted to talk
Well up before day, they will come well over the heath

Close under the hill runs a path
Which one may call the circle
The river rushes past there
In it the enemy shall fall
Well up before day, they will come well over the heath

With dead bodies the circle was strewn
The ravens got enough to eat
The youth's blood, which flowed here
The Scottish girls lamented
Well up before day, they will come well over the heath

Still stands a monument in the same place
Which Norway's enemies may threaten
Woe to every Norwegian who does not become warm
So often his eyes see it
Well up before day, they will come well over the heath
