Herr Holger [English translation]

Lady Tala she dreamed a dream one night

Wake up for the time it is right

That the rich Sir Holger would lose his heart

That rich Sir Holger

I dreamed I dreamed of our grey steed

He carried you to the court where you died

My dear Lady Tala say not so

May your dreams awaken after the eighth year

They bashed at the door with poles and spears

If Sir Holger is in there he must come out

Sir Holger he spoke with his two squires

"Saddle my steed with the saddle of gold"

When they arrived at Copenhagen

There stood King Kristian on the white shore

You Sir Holger are welcome to me

Sir Holger Sir Holger it will cost you your life

King Kristian chopped the head right off

So that blood ran down over his feet

When Lady Tala saw her master's corpse

She went numb under the white sheet

Sir Holger was laid to rest at twelve

At the stroke of eleven he rose up again

He knocked at the door with fingers so thin

Lady Tala slide back the bolts, let me in

With no one have I arranged to meet

And I will let no one in after the night's fall

My dear Lady Tala give the farmer his cow

'Cause in Hell it is so difficult to live

Lady Tala return Romman and Skromman

'Cause in Hell it's hard to burn for your friend

Even if I'd go to Hell as a swan

I would truly not live as a pauper

Go to Hell with your squires

Wake up for the time it is right

And I will follow with my maidens

The rich Sir Holger
