O Silibrand körde uppå höga loftesvala,
Oh Silibrand rode up to the top of the mound,
(Allt under den linden så gröna.)
(All under the lime tree so green.)
Der fick han sin dotter i lunden fara.
There he got to see his daughter going in the grove.
(I riden så varliga genom lunden med henne.)
(You ride so carefully through the grove with her.)
O välest mig, välest mig vad jag nu ser.
Oh woe is me, woe is me, what do I see.
Jag ser min dotter, hon kommer till mig.
I see my daughter, she's coming to me.
O Silibrand fämnar ut kappan så blå,
Oh, Silibrand spreads out his cape so blue,
Der föder hon två karska svenbranen på.
There she gave birth to twin sons.
Min fader skall jag giva min gångare grå,
To my father I will give my grey steed,
Som han skall rida till kyrkan uppå.
Which he will ride to the church upon.
Min syster skall jag giva mina guldringar sju,
To my sister I will give my seven gold rings,
Som jag ej haft sen jag stod brud.
That I haven't worn since I was a bride.
Min broder skall jag giva mina handskar små,
To my brother I will give my small gloves,
Som han skall ha likvart han går.
That he will carry with him wherever he goes.
Den ene så för dom till Freyas dop,
One child they took to Freya's christening,
Den andrä så för dom till Valhalla sal.
The other one they took to the hall of Valhalla.
