Translation of the song Kvällning / Trollvisan artist Finntroll

Trollet satt på sten och ropade: HEJ!

The troll sat on a stone and shouted: HEY!

Vem har spillt mitt mjöd ut?

Who has poured out my mead?

Men inget djur i skogen eller kära grottans djup

But no animal neither in the wood nor the cave’s depth

Visste vem som hade vällt ut skogstrollets sup

knew who had emptied out the forest troll's drink.

Trollet satt på sten och ropade: HEJ!

The troll sat on a stone and shouted: HEY!

Vem har trampat mina svampar ner?

Who has trampled down my mushrooms?

Men inget djur i skogen eller kära himlens barn

But neither animal in the forest nor child of the sky

Visste vem som hade stampat hela fältet bart

knew who had stamped down the entire field. 

Trollet satt på sten och ropade: HEJ!

The troll sat on a stone and shouted: HEY!

Mjöd och fläsk till de vise!

Mead and meat to the wise one!

Inget djur i skogen eller grottetrollets barn

Neither animal in the wood nor cave troll's child

Som visste att det var enda trollet hade kvar

knew those were the only things the troll still had left.

Och råttorna svamlade till trollet: HEJ!

And the rats whispered to the troll:

De kristna har spillt ditt mjöd!

The Christians have spilled your mead!

De kristna har trampat dina svampar!

The Christians have trampled your mushrooms!

De kristna ha slagit dina bröder!

The Christians have beaten your brothers!

Sen blev trollet ilsken och steg upp från sin sten

Then the troll got angry and stood up from his stone,

Han gick till kristna landet och brände fula kyrkan ner

he went to the Christian land and burned down the hideous church.
