Gamen

Konung Vallemo var en sÄ viser man
han gifte sin dotter pÄ frÀmmande land

Den ena dagen stod hon brud
den andra dagen i bojor och jÀrn

Och varför ska ni binda mig
Ty du var ej mö nÀr du kom till mig

Och hade jag mig en trogen vÀn
som bore de ord till min fader ikvÀll

Och fram kom dÀr den gamla Gam
och nog sÄ skulle jag förat fort fram

Å hade jag nĂ„got till ungarna mina
Jag skulle vara dÀr inom ett par timmar

LÀgg dina ungar vid mitt bröst
sÄ fÄr de Àta sÄ mycket som dom lyster

Å hĂ€r sitter du konung Vallemo
Imorgon ska din dotter pÄ brinnande bÄl

Och far din vÀg du gamla Gam
Min dotter hon fick en sÄ hederlig man

Å vill ni ej de orden tro
sÄ se hennes nyckel uti min klo

Konung Vallemo gick Ă„t stallet in
och Blacken sÄ lÀgger han sadeln uppÄ

Å nĂ€r han kom till grevens gĂ„rd
sÄ gnÀgga Blacken murarna ifrÄ

Och Blacken lyfte upp sin fot
den slog han i Grevens hjÀrterot

SÄ satte hon pÄ Blackens bak
sÄ rider hon hem uti god mak

The Vulture

King Vallemo was a wise old man.
He married off his daughter in a foreign land.

One day she stood in her bridal gown,
The next in bands of iron bound.

"And why do you do this to me?"
"For you were no maiden when you came to me."

"Oh had I a trusty friend and true
To carry these words to my father now!"

Then the old vulture came to her:
"Let me be your speedy messenger.

"If I could get food for my young from you,
I could be there in an hour or two."

"Then lay your young at my breast, if you will,
So that while you are gone they may eat their fill."

"King Vallemo, here you sit free from sorrow.
Your daughter will burn at the stake tomorrow."

"Fly away, old vulture, as quick as you can -
My daughter has married an honest man."

"If you won`t believe what you hear from me
Look here at my claw, I am carrying her key.

" King Vallemo into the stable strode,
Saddled his black horse, and off he rode.

And when they came to the foreign lord`s hall
The black horse whinnied high up on the wall.
