Bride abduction at Hægstad Square
Because of the thirst; give me some of your burning drink!
Always yearning to be drowned in starving sorrow
Let the fiddle play a dance; (to) lovely girls I give my attention
Ingerid, in no way shall you feel just how I suffer
To hell with Aslak the smith
And you Lunde rabble as well,
They fell silent in whispers and mockery
Upon the square where the dancing held
Provoked now is my weak patience
The time is nigh; tricking are ye,
In vain to desire my mercy!
No girl would willingly deny the hand of a Gynt for that of a grey old man
Oh, woe and sorrow! is there any lovely (girl) who may cause happiness?
At the feast square among the Hedal people, an excited maiden
Made me to blindly neglect the daughter of Hægstad's landowner;
For your pallet I can quickly come as blackish light,
To empty your blood upon the werewolf shape of darkness!
The groom besought
His flower so dear
I had from the larder to fetch;
“Ingerid will not the lock undo
If you can, charm this kitten,
You shall receive a young bull to your desire
If only my Ingerid you fetch!”
Then Peer disappeared; no more to be seen
In the square, conversely, anger flared
But now upon the hillside so steep they descried him;
And over his shoulder, young Ingerid's body!
I have come to take with me she who my heart holds near
I have come to take with me she who is for me so hearty
Knuckles in envy went white, cursed wildly to him
The smith longing for your purgatory's lairs;
Where the devil himself settles your penitence for all time,
Yet one maiden in this tumult silently says:
“Shall my Peer then return
To me so faithfully?
Devoted I shall now abide
And never in another
Seek comfort; spring and autumn
For all time I shall await thee”
