Margjit og Targjei Risvollo [English translation]

Margjit herds (the flock) in the northern hillsides

she blows in gilded horns

this Jon i Vaddelio hears

and it increases his great grief

- it was me and never you

who jalla* beneath the hillsides -

They lay together through the long night

by each other's side

the night ended and the sun rose

they parted with sorrow and pain

- it was me and never you

who jalla beneath the hillsides -

(It was) Mistress Margjit

tapped on the side post

arise, Kristi, my maiden

you must let me in!

- it was me and never you

who jalla beneath the hillsides -

(It was) Targjei Risvollo,

came riding to the farm

(it was) the maiden Kristi

She was wrapped in rich furs

- it was me and never you

who jalla beneath the hillsides -

(It was) Targjei Risvollo

leaned against his sword

"where is now the mistress Margjit

who is to brighten my journey?"

- it was me and never you

who jalla beneath the hillsides -

Listen, young Tarjei

What I wish to say to you

You are not meant, young Tarjei

To ride as a groom, with Margjit

- it was me and never you

who jalla beneath the hillsides -

She carries a great pain underneath her bosom

And a torment inside of her.

You are not meant, young Tarjei

To ride as a groom, with Margjit

- it was me and never you

who jalla beneath the hillsides -

Fair was the horse

which brave Targjei rode

even fairer the horse

he had intended for his betrothed

- it was me and never you

who jalla beneath the hillsides -

(It was)Targjei Risvollo

he left with sorrow and pain

the horse of the bride runs loose (without any rider) behind Risvollo.

- it was me and never you

who jalla beneath the hillsides -
