Reven og bjørnen [English translation]

The fox stood scratching inside the cave

her lier uti nipp sagde reven.

Steffa Maure (the bear) grabbed his tail and pulled

for bonden slenger vipp uti tirumtapp.

And Kranselin (the cow) didn´t arrive until the tail slipped (out of the bears grip)

Steffe maure with his rosy red hide

Won over Kranselin

Oh dear Steffa Maure give me some time

her lier uti nipp sagde reven.

Until I can write down my last Will

for bonden slenger vipp uti tirumtapp.

And Kranselin didn´t arrive until the tail slipped

Steffe maure with his rosy red hide

Won over Kranselin

To the fut* I give my pelt

her lier uti nipp sagde reven.

He likes to line his hat/hood with it

for bonden slenger vipp uti tirumtapp.

And Kranselin didn´t arrive until the tail slipped

Steffe maure with his rosy red hide

Won over Kranselin

To the scribe I give my klaw

her lier uti nipp sagde reven.

He writes so many lies

for bonden slenger vipp uti tirumtapp.

And Kranselin didn´t arrive until the tail slipped

Steffe maure with his rosy red hide

Won over Kranselin

To the priest I give my tounge

her lier uti nipp sagde reven.

He must always sing to the congregation

for bonden slenger vipp uti tirumtapp.

And Kranselin didn´t arrive until the tail slipped

Steffe maure with his rosy red hide

Won over Kranselin

To the skyss-skaffer** i give my foot

her lier uti nipp sagde reven.

He has so many hills to klimb

for bonden slenger vipp uti tirumtapp.

And Kranselin didn´t arrive until the tail slipped

Steffe maure with his rosy red hide

Won over Kranselin
