about

Trad. Norwegian ballad from Telemark

lyrics

Hjukse den stoltast gard i Sauherad var,
- Tidi fell meg long'e,
Stolt Margit var dott'ri oppå den gard,
- Det er eg som ber sorgji så tronge.

Stolt Margit ho reidde seg til kyrkja å gå,
Så tok ho den vegjen til bergjet der låg

Som ho kom fram ved bergevegg,
Kom Bergjekongjen med det lange, kvite skjegg

Så skjenkte han i av den klårasta vin,
"Drikk utor di, allerkjærasten min!"

Då var ho i bergjet årene ni
Ho fødde søner og døttrene tri

Stolt Margit ho tala til Bergjekongen så
"Må eg få lov til min fader å gå?"

"Ja, du må få lov til din fader å sjå
Men du må kje vere borte hot ein time hell två"

"Eg meiner det er Margit, eg hadde så kjær
Å kjære mi dotter, å er du no her!"

Men då kom Bergjekongen snøgt som ein eld
"Å kjem du kje heim at til borni i kveld?"

"Fare no vel då alle i min heim
no kjem eg aldri til dikkon meir"
