Translation of the song De Tre Piker artist Myrkur
De Tre Piker
The Three Girls
Der stod tre piker på det høgande fjell
Three girls stood on the piling mountain
Såg utover dybe hav
Looking across the deep ocean
Der ser de et skip komme seilende
There, they saw a ship sailing
Der ser de et skip komme seilende
There, they saw a ship sailing
Som på det tre grever var
Which had three counts on it
Den aller yngste greven
The very youngest count
Som der på skipet var
Who was on the ship
Han ville visst trolova sig
He wanted to get engaged
Han ville visst trolova sig
He wanted to get engaged
Enn sjølv så ung han var
Even though he was so young
Så tok han av seg ringen
He took off his ring
Den var av gullet rent
It s gold was pure
Tak den, tak den du vennen min
Take it, take it, my friend
Tak den, tak den du vennen min
Take it, take it, my friend
Tak den og bli som min
Take it, and be like you were mine
Men hva vil min moder sige
But what will my mother say
Når jeg kommer hjem igjen
When I return back home
Sig at, sig at du har funne den
Say that you've found it
Sig at, sig at du har funne den
Say that you've found it
I skogens grønne li
On the green sloppy mountainside of the forest
