Per Tyrssons döttrar i
Vänge.
Kaller var deras skog.
De sovo en sömn för länge.
Medan skogen han
lövas.
Först vaknad den yngsta,
sa väckte hon upp de andra
Sa
satte de sig pa sängestock
sa flätade de varandras lock
Sa togo de pa sina
silkesklar
sa gingo de sig at kyrkan
Nar som de kommo pa Vänga lid
där
mötte de tre vallare
"Säg viljen I bli vallareviv
eller viljen I mistra era
unga liv?"
"Ej vilja vi blie vallareviv
hellre vi miste vart unga
liv."
De högg deras huvu'n pa björkestock,
sa rann där strax tre källor
opp
Kropparna grovo de ner i dy,
kläderna buro de fram till by
När
som de kommo till Vänga gard
ute för dom fru Karin star
"Och viljen I köpa
silkessörkar,
som nio jungfrur har stickat och virkat?"
"Lös upp edra knyten
och lat mig se,
kanhända jag känner dem alla tre."
Fru Karin sig för
bröstet slar
och upp till Per Tyrsson i porten hon gar.
Dethaller tre vallare pa
var gard
de haver gjort av med döttrarna var."
Per Tyrsson tar sitt svärd i
hand
sa högg han ihjäl de äldsta tva
Den tredje fraga han innan han
slog:
"Vad heter er fader och mor?"
"Var fader Per Tyrsson ivänge,
var moder
fru Karin i Skränge."
Per Tyrsson han gar sig at smedjan,
han lät smida sig
järn om midjan
"Vad ska vi nu göra för syndamen?"
"Vi ska bygga upp en
kyrka av kalk och sten!"
"Den kyrkan ska heta Kräna."
Kaller var deras
skog
"Den ska vi bygga upp sa gärna"
Medan skogen han lövas
[english
translation]
Per Tyrsson's daughters in Vänge
Oh how chilly their woods
They
were fast asleep a long time ago
Whilst the woods burst into leaf
The youngest was
the first one to awake
She soon awoke the others
They sat themselves down upon their
beds
and plaited the hair on each other's heads
Then they dressed in clothes of
silk
and made their way to church
When they came to Vänga hill
they met
three robbers who held them still
"Pray, would you care to become robbers' wives?
Or
would you rather lose your lives?"
"We would not care to become robbers' wives.
We
would much rather lose our lives."
They chopped their heads off on birch-wood
stem
and soon three wells sprung forth by them
The bodies were dug down in muddy
ground,
the clothes they carried to Vänga town.
As they arrived in Vänga
farm
Fru Karin came to greet them.
"Say, would you care to buy clothes of
silk
that nine maidens have knitted and crotcheted?"
"Open your bundles and let me
see
maybe I know them, all three."
Fru Karin quivers as never before
and runs
to Per Tyrsson who stands by the door
"There are three robbers outside our
farm
they've gotten rid of our daughters"
Per Tyrsson grabs his sword and
then
he runs to slay the two older men.
He asked the third one before he
stroke
"Who is your father and mother?"
"Our father Per Tyrsson in
Vänge,
our mother Fru Karin in Skränge."
Per Tyrsson went to the
smithy
and forged himself iron round his waist.
"What shall our retribution
be?"
"We'll build a church out of stone and lime."
"Kärna Church shall be its
name"
Oh how chilly their woods
"Oh, how willingly we will build it ."

woods burst into leaf | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
