Sava Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ville-mand tager harpen I haand.
hand ganger for vandet at stande.

Hand slog harpen aff haande:
oc fisket aff thet vande.

Hand slo harpen offuer then by:
oc fulen aff den hoye skye.

Hand slog harpen aff liste:
oc loff aff linde-quiste.

Hand slog loff aff linde-trae
oc hornen aff thet leffuinde faeae.





Hand slog barck aff bircke
och knapen aff then kircke.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sava's song "Harpen" are written in Danish and describe a minstrel or musician who is carrying a harp and using it to perform various feats. In the first verse, the harpist is described as a "ville-mand" or a man from the countryside who is carrying the harp in his hand. He uses the harp to create a magical effect on the water, causing it to still or stand. The second verse describes the harpist striking the harp with his hand to catch fish from the water. In the third verse, the harpist plays a tune that causes the birds to fly down from the high sky. In the fourth verse, the harpist strikes the harp softly, causing the leaves to fall from the linden tree. In the fifth verse, the harpist strikes the bark of the birch tree, causing its knots to fall off, and similarly strikes the church, causing its door to open.
