Two Sostra [English translation]

And the sister spoke to the sister as such

(Young is my life)

Come, we shall go to the seashore

(Mark my words)1And as they now stood upon the seashore

(Young is my life)

The eldest shoved her sister of sand

(Mark my words) There lived a fiddler by that shore

(Young is my life)

He gaze out over the sea and saw the corpse

(Mark my words)

On the shore, he dragged the lovely maiden up

(Young if my life)

and made from her, a harp so sweet

(Mark my words) And then he brought the harp to the bride's farm

(Young is my life)

Where the wedding was held with lust and splendour

(Mark my words)With the third strum of the harp

(Young is my life)

The bride laid dead in the bridal bed

(Mark my words)

1. I have no idea what "Våller mig den tunga" actually means and neither does google. So take this as you like. I did read through the original lyrics that this song is based on and in that context "mark my words" fit quite well, so I'm going with that until someone tells me otherwise.
